The theme was on 'Restaurant' so I decided to do a Japanese Restaurant this time.
The objective was to create activities within the dramatic corner with mathematical concepts.
I created a menu with various prices on it so that children learn the value of money. I also had recipe cards for children to follow in order to make the dishes. I used angel clay to make the ingredients as it was cheap and easy to use. However the disadvantage was that it disintegrates when it touches water. I had to use lacquer or varnish to protect them.
Restaurant Menu
Recipe card
The Sakura Special set
Ebi Ramen
Sushi anyone?
For the rice, I cut out a rectangular shape from a piece of hard foam.
I used masking tape to cover it and painted it white. Then I used tiny foam balls cut into 4 and painstakingly pasted them onto the foam base.
Another noodle dish with different ingredients. The egg actually looked real until I varnished it.
These ingredients were made using soft clay and varnish. It was tricky to sculpt the prawns when when they kept breaking apart.
The set up for the Japanese kitchen where the chef prepares the dishes.
