June 30, 2011 First United Methodist Church “Sushi Café” LIBM 6371 Program Implementation by Ellen Hope Sushi for Beginners!
Sushi display This is the candy sushi that I made so the kids could see what we would be doing after the read-aloud.
Who likes sushi? The kids wanted to explain their tastes, too. Most had never actually eaten sushi before. **Photo disclaimer: All participants gave permission to be photographed through the daycare’s regular policies. Names will not be given though.**
Sushi introduction Before getting messy, I read the book Sushi for Kids: A children’s introduction to Japan’s favorite food by Kaoru Ono
Sushi ingredients Very adventuresome eaters! These kids have eaten/would eat anything…or so they said!
Time for chopsticks! This was a mini chopsticks tutorial. The kids were very eager. They could ALL use them properly…they thought.
This is how they work This is where I tried to show them the proper way to use chopsticks.
Maybe we’ll cheat…shhhh, don’t tell They didn’t quite get it so we went the easy route and used rubber bands to turn them into pinchers.
Bring on the candy!...I mean, sushi! The first type of candy sushi we made involved wrapping fruit roll-ups around swiss cake rolls.
I’m a pro—At making a mess! The second batch of sushi we made consisted of wrapping rice krispy treats around twizzlers and gummi worms, topping it all off with fish shaped fruit snacks.
Let’s eat! After all of that hard work, it was time to chow down.
Sushi take-out The participants got to take home their sushi as well as what I made. They also got to take the chopsticks, as well.
