History of the Nutcracker

life size nutcrackers

Nutcrackers are most closely associated with the Christmas season, for which they are considered a traditional symbol. The original Christmas nutcrackers first appeared in Germany and were thought to guard the household they were kept in because of their strong appearance. Since their inception, nutcrackers have been made of wood, though modern designs are introducing all-weather materials, such as fiberglass.

It is true that early nutcrackers were whittled from wood and were artfully designed. Some nutcrackers appeared with the heads of men, animals and other objects. But typically, the nutcracker had a set of handles and at the top a cracking mechanism, and that was it. Once, harder metals were introduced, nutcrackers were also ornately fashioned from metal, but not as affordable to the lower classes.

In the late 17th century the nutcracker was transformed into a doll that still functioned as a nutcracker. However, the nutcracker wasn’t a giant nutcracker, as we see more of today. And although some were kept in gardens amongst the gnomes as an outdoor nutcracker, they still weren’t life size nutcrackers, but rather hand sized. It was at this time as well, that the nutcracker took on more of a whimsical toy solider appearance with bright colors and embellishments.

Nutcracker Transformation to Life Size Nutcracker

After appearing on stage as a life size nutcracker, in the ballet The Nutcracker, the nutcracker transformation continued. It is possible that once the ballet became more accepted, that the concept of a giant nutcracker, became a part of the holiday season. Because the Nutcracker Prince came to life on stage. Many nutcrackers were fashioned into known leaders, celebrities, and historical figures. But mostly into the whimsical toy solider that many of us recognize today, with a bright colors and embellishments.
