Is this ornament too small for a full-size tree?

At five inches it reads as a filler ornament. On a large tree, group it with other nutcrackers or hang it near the front of a branch. It works best on small trees, wreaths and garlands.

Will the paint hold up in storage?

Painted wood generally stores well if you wrap it and keep it dry. Edges and the hat brim are the spots most likely to chip if it is packed loose with heavier ornaments.

Can it hang outdoors?

It is a wood ornament with a hanging loop, so a covered porch or wreath is fine. Direct rain and damp will damage the paint and wood over time.

Does it match other At Home nutcracker decorations?

The red, green, black and gold palette is the standard nutcracker scheme, so it mixes easily with other nutcracker figures and traditional ornaments. Exact paint matches across seasons are not guaranteed.

Is it safe around young children?

Wood is less fragile than glass, but small hanging parts and paint mean it is not a toy. Hang it out of reach of children who still put things in their mouths.
