PANEL THEATER PERFORMANCE – THE FIRST JAPANESE CURRY COOKING CLASS
Starting in 2025, House Foods Vietnam’s edutainment program (learning through play) has begun rolling out in selected preschools.
Through the storytelling method of Panel Theater, we transform nutrition knowledge—often seen as dry and difficult—into a colorful and engaging experience for preschool children.
🧩 What will children experience in the program?
At this age, children learn best through their hands and their endless curiosity. Our program is specially designed for preschoolers:
Visual Learning Instead of learning through screens, children meet lively felt characters representing vegetables and curry roux placed on a panel board. This interactive approach helps them easily remember the names and colors of different ingredients.
Fine Motor Skills Development Teachers and facilitators invite children to the board to pick up, place, and move the ingredients themselves. These simple actions help develop hand coordination and encourage physical interaction with objects—an essential foundation during the preschool stage.
Basic Sequential Thinking Through the Panel Theater story, children begin to understand simple sequences such as before and after: washing hands first, preparing vegetables, adding water, and then cooking curry. These are the first steps in building logical thinking.
🍛 Panel Theater story: “The First Japanese Curry Cooking Class”
In the familiar classroom setting, children will enjoy a fun culinary journey with House Foods:
- Meet the “Vegetable Friends”: Children are introduced to the ingredients: cheerful Onion, round Potato, and bright Orange Carrot.
- The Secret of the “Magic Curry Roux”: Kids discover how easy it is to cook Japanese curry using House Foods Vermont Curry Roux (Apple & Honey flavor)—the key ingredient behind the delicious dish they will taste after the class.
- Interactive Cooking Experience: Children are invited to “cook” a giant pot of Japanese curry together on the felt panel board with their friends and teachers.
🚀 Planting Seeds of Happiness – 2026 Journey
House Foods Vietnam believes that when preschool children have the chance to simulate cooking with their own hands, they learn to appreciate ingredients, meals, and the effort that parents and teachers put into preparing them.
Message from House Foods: "Every child can become an independent little chef. Let’s nurture children’s minds and bodies through meaningful early experiences."
*Depending on the school's preference, House Foods Vietnam will cook and serve Japanese curry rice after Panel Theater performance so that the children can experience the taste of a dish that many children in Japan love.
