All these different types of cheese/cheese forms make me want to eat cheese soooo badly! Some of these cheese's have different textures completely, and some are quite similar. Some of the cheese's I have listed are different colours, like orange, white, and even blue. Some cheese can be melted to make a girlled cheese or cheese bread for example, and some is cooked into a cake like cheese cake. Here is my sketch of three items of different forms of cheese. :)

If I was an early childhood educator, I would have a full week of talking about different kinds of foods. I would have a different type of food that we as a class would talk about each day and what we can do with that food. For example, if it was cheese, I would ask the children about the texture of the cheese, the colour, who eats cheese?, does it have a smell?, what can we do with cheese other than eat it?, can we make some type of other food that involves cheese?, and where does it come from? Asking different questions about cheese could help explore different activities with that particular food. I would get children to paint what they think about cheese, and maybe what their favourite type of cheese is. Continuing onto the next day, we would talk about a different type of food.
