It's really fun making a play restaurant! Whether the food is real or fake, you'll have the same amount of fun serving your customers!

1. The Food
Is the food going to be real or fake? Fake food is easier becuase you can just make the craft, and you don't have to cook things over and over. It's fine if you want real food. You can sell drinks, sweets, and meals.

If you want a fake restaurant, dig out your old play food from when you were little. OR maybe you can go buy a play food set. It comes in very handy. You can serve the play food. If you don't have play food and you don't want to buy it, why don't you make things out of paper, string, cotton balls, and other accesible materials. Cotton balls can be used for vanilla ice cream. Circles with yellow and orange streaks can be made into pizzas. Use your imagination to make food!

2. The Kitchen
Gather up some friends and make your kitchen. The kitchen can be separated from the restaurant by boxes, pillows, or standing up books. Use whatever you have! Make sure you have a doorway!

Separate your food into piles. Grains here, meats there, veggies over in that corner, you know. If you have play utensils, like plates, bowls, spoons, forks, and knives. Separate those too. If you don't have utensils, either use real ones (be careful!), make your own, or buy play utensils from the store.

3. The Advertisements
Since your play restaurant is probably inside the house, make sheets of paper advertising your store and hang them up around the house. This will attract the adults and other people in your house.

4. Open for business
Set up tables and chairs from boxes, pillows, or whatever is handy. Then open for business. Make sure to smile and have great service! It IS fun making a restaurant!

You can help others by being a volunteer! Here are a few ideas.

1. READ TO YOUNGER KIDS
Little kids love to hear stories. You probably have some little children around who will sit and listen to you. They will love it, and you will too!

2. HELP AN ELDERLY PERSON
For a day, help an elderly person around the house. Do the laundry, wash the dishes, and sit down to talk. You'll be happy helping someone else, and you'll also learn more from the elderly person's experiences!

3. PLANT A TREE
Trees help our Earth. They breathe in gases that cause global warming, and they breathe out oxygen, so we can breathe. If you plant a tree, you'll be happy to help our Earth.

4. PICK UP LITTER
Picking up litter at your local park may be a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Wear gloves so you don't directly touch the yucky garbage. Picking up litter will certainly make your park cleaner!
