Replica Penny Lick

• A great Victorian or seaside history mystery artefact. • Before cones, ice cream was licked from a glass called a penny lick. Made illegal for public health reasons in 1926. • Understanding historical practices and hygiene developments is crucial in the classroom. The replica penny lick, made of glass and standing 12cm tall, recreates the small glasses used before the ice cream cone's invention. This resource helps children engage with local history and societal changes during the Victorian period and beyond. • Perfect for Key Stage 2 history, it supports curriculum objectives by facilitating discussions about local artefacts and public health evolution. It also extends pupils’ chronological knowledge beyond 1066, offering insights into Victorian social and cultural aspects. Incorporating the penny licks into lessons makes history tangible and enriches topics on the Victorian period or seaside themes.
