TRANSCRIPT
•Activities involving foods are included in most programs for three- to five-year-old children. However, many of the food type activities are under the complete direction of the teacher. The children sit and watch the teacher do the work. Food activities that do not include misuse of the children‘s input are not very creative.
•The use of food in a classroom can be one of the most creative parts of the program. Food is a part of each child’s experience. All of their senses are used in activities involving food.
Children experience many
shapes, sizes, and colors.
The child thus learns to
name shapes, compare
sizes and describe things.
• Children find out how heating or mixing change taste. Children also learn that a change in appearance of some foods does not mean that the foods taste any different.
As they did on
sensing, children
observe that
foods change
from liquids to
solids and from
solids to liquids.
As a result• Language develops as a result of food experiences.
• They learn a more complete meaning of terms like liquid and solid, freezing and boiling, smelly and odorless.
Growth. Growth in a more logical
view of the world takes place in children who have creative food experiences
