5. Chestnuts
Most of the chestnuts you’ll find in the Pacific Northwest are horse chestnuts — not good for roasting and eating, but perfect for collecting. Kids will enjoy pounding chestnuts with rocks to slough off the prickly exterior to expose the smooth, burnished chestnut inside.
Stuff your pockets and bring them home for chestnut crafts and counting games. Then you can proudly display your collection in a Mason jar.
