No proper Christmas mantelpiece is complete without a nutcracker soldier standing to attention, and this one you build yourself in about a quarter of an hour. The EUGY Nutcracker stacks up from numbered card slices into a smart little sentry with bags of festive character — though we'd keep the walnuts well away from him.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need glue or scissors?
Neither, because the glue is already in the box — a pot of non-toxic glue comes with every EUGY. The card slices arrive pre-cut and numbered, so there's no cutting, no measuring and nothing else to buy. Open it and start.
What age are EUGYs for?
Six and up is the guide. Younger children get on with them happily alongside an adult for the fiddlier layers, and plenty of grown-ups build them without a child anywhere in sight — which we're not going to judge.
How long does one take to build?
Ten to twenty minutes — short enough to finish in one sitting, which is rather the point. It's a proper screen-free wind-down that ends with something to show for it, rather than a project that gets abandoned half-built on the kitchen table.
Pre-cut, numbered card slices that stack into the finished animal, a pot of non-toxic glue, and illustrated step-by-step instructions with genuine facts about the creature scattered through them. Designed in New Zealand, and the range holds a Red Dot Design Award — unusual for something this cheap.
