Do you know what is this?
ICE-CREAM STICKS!
When I was in primary school,
my teacher used to ask the students to collect the ice-cream sticks for art homework.
So we usually will go find at the canteen,
or ask the friends to keep for us after they finish their ice-creams.
Sometimes, we even dig from the dustbin just to hunt for more ice-cream sticks.
P/S: I know it is dirty, but we wash it before we use okay!
During the art class, we paint it carefully,
try our best not to mess up or break the sticks.
Because we know every single stick is our hard work.
But nowadays, the book store is even selling the ice-cream sticks.
And already well painting with various colours in the packets.
So the children no longer need to collect them like what we did last time.
They just have to buy from the shop,
it is so convenience.
So they started not appreciating the sources.
Actually the purpose of the activity, not just to complete the art work.
But also the process we prepare the ingredients.
Maybe we can say that the ice-cream sticks suppliers make life easier,
but honestly the children will appreciate more
if they do everything by their own hands from A-Z.
