• This educational kit allows children to explore the historical uses of chocolate, originally cultivated by the Maya. It includes artefacts such as cocoa beans, a metate, whisk, and woven basket which facilitate hands-on learning about Maya processes and the cultural importance of chocolate.

• Intended to support the Key Stage 2 History curriculum, this kit helps extend children’s chronological knowledge by exploring the use of chocolate as a currency and trade item in Maya civilisation. Resources enable teachers to deliver practical and interactive history lessons that capture the economic influence of chocolate.
