野菜のスタンプ Vegetable Stamping

レンコン、オクラ、ピーマン、生姜の葉（ペンにしよう）、ジャガイモのスタンプにカットした物を用意して、スタンプ台、絵の具で色をつけて自由に画用紙に絵を書きました。みんなきれいな色彩でとてもきれいに書けました。誕生日会をしました。お誕生日の子供の母親の手作りケーキでお祝いをしました。彼はちょっと恥ずかしくて照れていましたがだんだんと調子に乗ってきてお騒ぎになりました。お友達がもうすぐアメリカに転勤です。さびしいです。日本を楽しいんでください。
Vegetable stamping today! Lady fingers, burdock root, green peppers, lotus root, ginger leaf stalks and potatoes. Potatoes were sliced and decorations were cut into them. Lady fingers, burdock root, green peppers and lotus root were sliced. Huge colored stamp pads were used and the kids had a nice time decorating their papers with vegetable prints. What about the ginger leaf stalks? The ginger leaf stalks were used as paint brush. The kids dipped the ginger leaf stalks into different colored paints and started drawing things and writing their names on their paper. The kids hands and faces somehow got decorated as well. After that, the kids played in the pool for a while. After pool time, we read a Japanese story and an English story, From Head to Toe, by Eric Carle. The kids mimic the actions in the books and moved their body to the story. Birthday celebration today. The mother of the birthday boy baked a cake for everyone and we had a nice birthday celebration. As one of the participants was vegetarian, the cake was made without eggs. Just before going back, we danced to the Hokey Pokey and other English songs. The kids are getting used to the dance and kids and mothers alike jumped, shouted and had a nice time dancing. For next week, we will be doing hand prints on a paper fan. Come and join us.
