What is it?This is a game where the child has to make sushi.
How to make it yourself
Playdoh - use white for rice. Sushi roller, scoop and garnish. All purchased.
What purpose does it serve?
By pretending to make sushi, the child engages in pretend play, which is important for the social and emotional development of the child.
By scooping the playdoh and rolling it to make the sushi, the child makes use of his fine-motor skills and visual-motor skills to know how to hold and manipulate the scoop and sushi roller.
The child may also feel the texture of the playdoh and imagine that the rice is hot. This further stimulates that imaginative skills and logic development in children (e.g. understand that when rice is just cooked, it's hot)
When the sushi is made, the child may count the number of pieces that he had made, and this also helps develop the counting skills and recognition of numbers (sound) (Auditory discrimination). You may wish to conduct the counting in various languages to expose the child to more languages.
