What Story Can We Create With Our Food?

Materials:

• Picture cards or real items of foods (fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese)

• Bowls, spoons, and kitchen utensils

• Paper and markers (optional for drawing the story)

• A tray or mat

Instructions:

• Place different food items or picture cards on a tray.

• Tell children they are going to create a food story together.
  Each child chooses a food and adds it to the story (e.g., “One day a banana went to the kitchen…”).

• Children take turns adding foods and continuing the story.

• Encourage them to describe the foods and what happens next.

• Together we can write or draw parts of the story as we share our thoughts and stories.

• What food should we add to our story next?

• What is the food doing in our story?

• What do you think will happen next in our story?
