Description

Giant Life Size Nutcracker is approximately 76" tall x 26" diameter and stands on an 18" diameter base. Locking casters included under for mobility. As shown, Nutcracker separates into 2 portions for easy storage.

Tall nature inspired figurine of a soldier elegantly attired in white with green faux moss grass and Fernbank fern leaf accents. The 4th grade class used hand-eye coordination to fold the white origami birds. With allot of concentration, we were able to create and string the birds together to make a beautiful garland.

The past couple years have been hard- We asked each student to reflect on words that may inspire themselves and each other. They created motivational messages such as "mistakes just show that you are growing" and "you are the best you". Each of them handwrote their own with permanent marker on decorative fabric. Their kind words and faces are used a time stamp for motivation to continue growing into the loving human beings we know they are. We will remember even during a pandemic - we didn't give up, we didn't give in. There were some big smiles behind the masks!

Our Birds Flying High Nutcracker illustrates we are united, we are stronger together and flying high. The Nutcracker is hand painted and rich in details embellished with white decorative trim and fabrics. Suitable for commercial or residential use indoors.
