Grippy Mortar & Pestle

Crush it, crunch it and create it with this hand carved creation!

Mortar & pestles are an ancient tool that have existed in one form or another through history where they have been used to crack nuts, grind grains and crush herbs and spices for cooking. 

In early learning settings, mortar & pestles combine a child's love of construction or should we say deconstruction, imagination, experimentation and sensory play. With this easy to use grippy shaped wooden mortar and pestle, children can use fresh or dried herbs to create their own potions, spells or concoctions. They can use chunks of charcoal to make charcoal paste or crush rocks to make paint. These fun experiences will provide endless opportunities for children to explore science, maths and gain a greater understand of sustainability, history and technology.
