Hi all
What is the easiest way to crush Chalk. (lots of small amounts but heaps of colours to get through)
I cant do mortar and Pestle anymore!!!

Cheers

Great idea, I'll be trying this next time I have to crush chalk!

I like the hammer idea as my chalk is all little bits and I would grate my fingers on the gauze lol
Thank you all for your responses

I wonder if an electric pencil sharpener would work if you had longer bits???

or maybe a coffee grinder...could pick a small one up fairly cheap.

I use an old blender

I have a older blender that i use for so many different things and this is one of those oh yes my blender type of jobs.
Or i get the students to actually do it.
