Food Glorious Food

Engagement Time

15-20 Minutes

Food Glorious Food is designed to improve your little one’s imagination skills and ability to represent real items with play materials.

Materials Required

Food Glorious Food

Paper Scissors Glue Marker Pens Paint Assorted Art and Craft Items

Method

In Food Glorious Food you are simply allowing your little one to hone their imagination skills by turning random everyday objects into food items. For example you make glue some wool to a paper plate and call it pasta or paint some red paint on top of the wool and call it spaghetti bolognese. A paper plate divided into sections could be a pizza and once small haphazardly cut green, red, yellow and brown pieces of paper have been glued on this could be a supreme or vegetarian pizza. The options are endless and limited only by the resources at hand and the amount of ideas you and your little one can invent. Extension: Once you have made the food let your little one serve it to you as if you are in a restaurant and even decorate a table and fold a napkin to add to the experience.

This activity develops skills in these areas:
