The challenge in setting up a supermarket is getting enough items to fill it up. Commercially made or plastic toy food items were too costly to purchase so I decided to add on my own creations, hopefully they resemble enough to the real thing. Most of the items like the broccoli, watermelon, cabbage and eggplant, chicken and fish were all made using paper mache.
Full view of the whole supermarket. I had other teachers 'shopping'
in my supermarket as they were also teaching about food
found in the market or supermarket.
I made this rack using the wire mesh and cable tie.
The yellow boxes including the wire mesh were all from Diaso - $2 shop.
|I liked the idea of using chalk to write on black paper as it gives the aesthetic look.
For the shelf products, I got children to design soup cans
as seen on the 2nd shelf on the right.
The rest were all used containers and boxes.
The giant strawberries and apples on the left were done by the Nursery children.
A mixture of teacher-made items and commercial ones.
Can you tell the ones that I've made?
The bakery section, where you can find cakes and bread.
On the right side is the cold storage where you can find ice cream,
chicken meat and cold drinks.
Children's artwork using chalk on black paper and mounted on old carton boxes as backing.
