Most kids enjoy painting and doing random art works. At most times, it is the only thing they want to do! Then again, a lot of kids also enjoy cooking. I think the fact that they are not yet allowed to do so on their own is what makes it more exciting for them. Painting and cooking; two great activities on their own. What more fun it would be if we could combine them. Well, who says we can’t?
My co-teacher and I were trying to come up with an art activity that involved food. We came up with a few but none gave us the feeling that “This was it.” Then suddenly, I remembered my preschool days and how my mom would often buy colorful bread for us to eat. I never knew what it was called but we used to call it Rainbow Bread. So finally, after several ideas, THIS IS IT!
