Agere DIY Cooking Activity
Carton boxes 📦 (or thicker paper)
Coloring tools like markers, pencils, water paint
Cutting tool like child safe scissors (otherwise, either cut when you’re not little or ask someone)
Glue (tape would be better for this purpose)
Optional: Stickers, colored paper
Look up recipes you’d like to make and write down the ingredients.
Draw the shapes of the food items, utensils and kitchen tools, you’d like to use, such as a big “wooden” spoon for stirring, onto the thick material.
For the bowl, you gotta draw a big circle and a long rectangle. The rectangle should be a little longer than what you’d think could wrap around your circle, just in case (you can always cut it after). This rectangle should be as wide as you’d like your bowl to be deep. You’ll also need a handle of your choosing.
After you drew the shapes onto your choice of thick paper, it’s time to cute them.
When they’re all cut out, it’s time to glue your rectangle around circle, on the top of its side. (Or if it’s easier for you, onto its side, not necessarily on the circle.) If it’s too long, just cut it in the right place. Don’t forget to also glue the two touching sides together. When the glue dried, you can also fix the handle onto the top of your new bowl.
Onto the other kind of paper, you’ll just need to cut out a rectangle (this will be our recipe sheet or menu). Now copy the ingredients you looked up onto it in a list form. You can draw them instead of writing too, or both!
Now it’s time to color, color,color! Look up references or let your imagination flow! There’s no guide on how to color, just enjoy!
If you have some of the optional items from the list above, you could also use those. For example, for the recipe sheet, you can stick a food sticker to its matching ingredient item. Or if you had colored paper at home, you can crumple up some green ones to use as lettuce, or cut small rectangles out as fries too!
If you’re an older regressor, you could try to go more 3D too. Like creating a hand mixer or trying to make the finished meal too!
