miniature food

[Miniature Food] Even little kids can do it!!! Tips video ⭐

Make it with clay! Here are some miniature food ideas.

These unique ideas are perfect for children’s food education.

By crafting food that looks almost real with their own hands, kids can deepen their interest in and understanding of food and ingredients.

For example, as they observe to match the colors of vegetables and fruits to the real thing and look for shapes and features, natural conversations like “This one is green,” or “What kind of nutrients does it have?” are likely to emerge.

Through making miniature foods with clay, children may also cultivate an appreciation for eating and learn the importance of food.

Tambourine of Box and Bell

Household items turned into that instrument!? [Handmade Instruments]

Let me introduce an idea for a tambourine made with a box and bells.

You’ll need a round box, masking tape, wire, an awl, decorative origami paper, double-sided tape, and scissors.

Using sparkly origami or decorating with cutouts of your favorite motifs will really lift the mood! Divide up the tasks with the kids and make the tambourine together.

It’s safest for a parent or teacher to handle the step of punching holes in the container with the awl.

Enjoy making music with your very own original tambourine!

After cutting the construction paper into a flower shape, add patterns with finger stamping.

Children in preschool classes can also paint with brushes in any colors they like.

It’s sure to become a gift that shows each child’s individuality.
