How did they get the pine cone into this small jar???

Visit Merbein Library during the school holidays to see if you can discover how they got this pine cone into the small opening of the jar without breaking either the pine cone or the jar.

Watch this space to find out the answer, or pop into Merbein Library and ask the staff to share the secret of the pine cone in the jar.

Secret revealed!!

The opened pine cone was soaked for several days in water until it completely closed up. Then it was placed into the jar and as it dried out it opened up again.
