How to make it:
  1. Here I just prepare a play station and let the kids do the rest. Sometimes I introduce a topic and they try their best to create it. I can also try to introduce vocabulary- in the picture you have pizza, soup and doughnut. Next time we can try something healthier from the vegetable and fruit section.
