Standing wooden nutcrackers in the form of soldiers and kings were shown in regions of Germany by 1800. In 1830, the term “Nussknacker” appeared in the dictionary of the Brothers Grim, who wrote hundreds of fairy tales, most notably “Snow White,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “Rumpelstiltskin.” Click on the nutcrackers for a dot-to-dot picture.
