Hello, this is Itabashi Ekimaeen 🌞Today we will be talking about food education.
In June, 1- and 2-year-olds did "cabbage tearing" and "vegetable stamp" activities.
A two-year-old child went to a greengrocer to buy cabbage and enjoyed various discoveries, such as "It's big! It's heavy! 😳". He also had the experience of paying at the cash register and receiving change.
It was very stimulating to experience in real life what I always do in pretend play.
When tearing cabbage, the children used all five senses by holding the large, round cabbages by themselves, looking closely at their shape, and smelling them.
Through this food education program, even after some time had passed, the children were still talking about tearing the cabbage, saying things like "You tore it up!", and I was very happy to see them eagerly eating the vegetables.
Using leftover cabbage, we made vegetable stamps to create hydrangeas, allowing the children to experience seasonal flowers while having fun watching the colors mix and the patterns change.
It was a memorable food education experience for each and every one of us.
