The regular old kitchen area was
becoming a little boring in our preschool class, so we decided to kick it
up a notch and turn it into a restaurant. First, we made a list of all
the things we would need. Then we set about collecting, making, and borrowing
items to make our restaurant.
Here are some of the things we
collected:
Where we check out customers.
A Parent of a preschooler donated material, and another
parent sewed 8 waitress aprons for us. We made menues and order books.
The children made chef hats and wore a full apron to be the
cook or chef.
We know we need to be clean to be healthy!!
A restaurant (Subway) donated kid meal bags, so we placed
them in our restaurant.
The whole area
The children pulled up chairs and started ordering food like
they were in a small cafe! Not something we came up with as a class at all,
completely child led.
It is always handy to know an expert in the area you are
learning about! Mrs. L taught us about manners, healthy food choices, and other
"restaurant tips."
What have you added to your centers
to change it up a bit?
