Nature’s Whistle

Whistling with acorns is a trick that is quite simple to learn, and it’s handy for getting someone’s attention or amazing your friends. Plus, it can actually save your life if you ever get lost in the woods and need a way to signal rescuers or scare off wildlife.

The steps to turning an acorn into a whistle are straightforward. First, you need to find an acorn, obviously. Make sure the brown part on top of the acorn is not cracked or deformed. Then grab the acorn cap in both of your hands between your thumb and index finger with the inside of the cap facing you. Finally, put your upper lip on the top of your thumb-knuckles and begin to blow!
