  • Have you ever tried cooking or helping someone cook in the kitchen? What was your favorite part about it?
  • Spring rolls are filled with vegetables and meat. What other ingredients do you think would taste good inside a spring roll?
  • Spring rolls come from China. Can you think of any other foods that come from different countries? Which one would you like to try making?
  1. Vegetable Exploration: Go on a vegetable hunt in your kitchen or at the grocery store. Can you find all the vegetables used in the spring roll recipe? Try to identify each one and talk about their colors, shapes, and textures. Ask an adult to help you taste a small piece of each vegetable raw. How do they taste different when cooked in the spring rolls?

  2. Spring Roll Art: Use colored paper or playdough to create your own spring roll art. Roll up your paper or shape your playdough to look like a spring roll. Use different colors to represent the vegetables inside. Share your creation with a friend or family member and explain what each color represents.

  3. Cooking Math: Practice your math skills by measuring the ingredients needed for the spring rolls. Use a scale to weigh 25 grams of salt and count how many egg roll wrappers you need. If you want to make double the amount of spring rolls, how much of each ingredient will you need? Work with an adult to solve these fun math problems!
