MTA Teachers Resource Catalogue Page: 86
Coconut Shell Tools - Pack of 6 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Inspire sensory exploration and natural creativity with the Coconut Shell Tools - Pack of 6, a unique and tactile resource perfect for a variety of early learning and craft activities. Exclusive to MTA, these tools are made from authentic coconut shells, offering children a natural alternative to traditional craft materials.
Each tool in the set is slightly concave with a smooth finish, ideal for scooping, stamping, painting, pressing, or mark-making with dough, clay, paint, or sand. The largest tool in the set measures 6cm in diameter, and the organically shaped pieces provide a delightful sensory experience that encourages children to explore different textures and surfaces.
Using these natural materials in creative play helps children develop an awareness of sustainable resources while also enhancing their fine motor skills, creativity, and sensory perception.
