DIY Gourmet Play - Sushi Toys Free n Easy!!!

Today, I made a big surprised treat for the girls...

I made them these....

Err...these are not for lunch... it's a set of sushi gourmet play
 for the Jojo and Mei Mei who happen to be a great sushi fans.

Can you guess how much I spend to make them???

Time : less than 30 minutes
Cost : $0

Want to know how?????

You must have the "secret ingredients"



I got mine from my grocery trash!

Here they are...

Main ingredients : 

#1  Plastic bag 

(I use black, orange, green and yellow one...you can use whatever your have on hand)

#2  PE fruit packaging foam net

try to get in different colors and sizes.

(Yup, the one use for fruits...bottle ...I never throw them away :P)

#3 - some sticky tapes and some imagination!

Now...let's do it!

Step One
Lay a piece of the foam net flat...
just like the way you make a real sushi
(pretend this is the rice!)

Step Two

Tear some foam net from others colors...
I use pink..because that what I have...

Roll and wrap the pink foam in the centre

Here is the side view

 Secure the roll with some sticky tape

Step Three
Cut few stripe of black 'seaweed' ...
from the black plastics bag...
They really look like the real one...
Wrap the white roll with it

Now, you have your first 'sushi'

The orange one is made from roll of orange plastic bag

Here how we made the Salmon Sushi

Get a smaller piece of the foam net

Instead of rolling...folding them like fan into a rectangular shape

and secure with sticky tape

Cut a small piece of black stripe and 

a big piece of orange plastic sheet

Fold the orange one into a fluffy thick retangular

 Stack the orange one on top and the black
stripe around it.
Done!  Your #2 sushi!

Today's Chef's Special 

(these are other version created by Chef Jojo n her super helper Mei Mei)

I didn't include the tutorial...
do comment me if you need further 'how to'
They join in the fun and one idea come after another...

"inside out sushi"???

Tamaki sushi - cone-shaped seaweed rolls

Tomago sushi (eggs) sushi
this one is not so successful I afraid...
but the 'chef' love eggs!
(slice of rolls of yellow plastics bag!)

The 'leftover' rice was 'stuffed' into a little bowl

and garnished with some 'seaweed'

Hope you enjoy the 'Sushi's

Till then...
