<h2 style="--fontSizeDesktop: 28px" class="fs-desktop">Exploring Traditional Culinary Delights at the Festival Booths</h2>

<p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">The traditional food booths were truly the highlight of the Mid-Autumn event at True North Kindergarten, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere for everyone. With meticulous planning and decoration, each booth was arranged into small, charming areas, recreating a traditional Mid-Autumn culinary space filled with festive delights. Every booth was adorned in a folk style, using bright colors and simple yet elegant patterns, making it easy for the children to recognize and explore each enticing treat.</p><h4 style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">1. Traditional Mooncakes – The Essence of Mid-Autumn Festival</h4><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Stepping into the culinary area, the children were instantly captivated by the sweet aroma of <strong>bánh dẻo</strong> (sticky rice mooncakes) and <strong>bánh nướng</strong> (baked mooncakes) — two signature treats of every Mid-Autumn Festival. The golden-brown baked mooncakes, filled with a variety of ingredients like savory meat, sausage, and assorted nuts, caught the attention of the children. For those who preferred a gentler sweetness, the soft and smooth sticky rice mooncakes, filled with mung bean or lotus seed paste, were the perfect choice.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">These mooncakes are not just delicious treats but also carry stories of family reunion and warmth. Teachers took the time to explain the significance of each type of mooncake. For instance, the crispy crust of the baked mooncakes symbolizes the skill and meticulousness involved in the baking process, while the smooth, soft filling of the sticky rice mooncakes represents the sweetness and warmth of family affection. Such insights not only enriched the children’s enjoyment of the treats but also nurtured their love and pride for traditional culture.</p><h4 style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">2. Colorful Fruit Skewers – A Harmonious Blend of Taste and Color</h4><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">In addition to the classic mooncakes, the children were treated to vibrant fruit skewers. From juicy red watermelon slices, sweet purple grapes, to refreshing green kiwi, each piece of fruit was carefully arranged on small bamboo sticks. These fruity delights not only brought a refreshing balance to the sweetness of the mooncakes but also made the overall experience more enjoyable for the children.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">The fruit skewers were not just simple snacks; they became miniature works of art as the children decorated them according to their preferences. The combination of red, green, and yellow created a stunning visual, stimulating both the taste buds and the imagination. Through this, the children learned to appreciate color coordination and recognize familiar fruits. For the younger children, the act of selecting, skewering, and tasting the fruits helped develop their fine motor skills, attention to detail, and carefulness.</p><h4 style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">3. Traditional Snacks – Familiar Flavors Bringing Simple Joy</h4><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Alongside the mooncakes and fruit skewers, the children also had the chance to sample traditional snacks like <strong>kẹo kéo</strong> (pulled candy), rice pops, and various other traditional sweets. These snacks brought a special sense of excitement, as they evoked fond memories of childhood for many parents. When the children eagerly shared sweet candies or happily munched on crispy rice pops together, it was more than just a treat — it became a bridge connecting different generations.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">A unique feature of the booths was that the children could personally choose their favorite snacks and learn about how they were made and their meanings. For example, <strong>kẹo kéo</strong>, a candy made from sugar, was skillfully stretched and molded by artisans into amusing shapes like chickens or dragons. The stories surrounding the candy-making process sparked curiosity and joy in the children, fostering a deeper appreciation for these simple yet delightful treats.</p><h4 style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">4. Culinary Experience – A Bridge Connecting Children to Folk Culture</h4><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">The Mid-Autumn culinary space was not merely about eating; it provided a unique opportunity for the children to learn more about traditional cultural values. Each dish, from sticky rice mooncakes and baked mooncakes to pulled candy and fruit skewers, carried its own story and special meaning. As the children listened to the tales of the origin and customs behind eating mooncakes, they not only found the treats tastier but also developed a deeper respect for the nation’s cultural heritage.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Perhaps the most beautiful moment was when the children excitedly shared their favorite snacks with friends and teachers. These were moments that taught them to listen, share, and connect with those around them. The Mid-Autumn Festival is not just a celebration of joy but also a time for love and family bonding to grow stronger.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">The traditional food fair at True North Kindergarten left a lasting impression on both the children and their parents. Through this, True North successfully created not only a colorful Mid-Autumn Festival but also a meaningful journey for the children to explore and cherish cultural values and traditional flavors.</p>

<p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Besides creative activities and traditional cuisine, the "Joyful Mid-Autumn – Sharing Love" event was an opportunity for the children to immerse themselves in a world of fascinating folk games. Through activities such as <strong>mask painting</strong> and <strong>making rattle drums</strong>, the children not only had fun but also gained a deeper understanding of cultural values and unique customs associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop"><strong>Mask painting</strong> was one of the highlights that drew much attention from the children. Each child was free to express their creativity, decorating their masks with distinctive colors and patterns. The masks, once completed, were not merely toys but rather unique artistic creations filled with the children’s effort and imagination. The amusing masks, featuring a variety of vibrant colors and facial expressions, became meaningful souvenirs for the children to bring home.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Additionally, making <strong>rattle drums</strong> — a game closely associated with traditional folk music — brought joy and excitement to the little ones. The children were guided to paint and decorate their small drums and then played rhythmically together, creating cheerful melodies. This activity was not just a playful game but also a lesson in rhythmic coordination and teamwork spirit.</p>

<p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">One of the highlights of the event was the handicraft activities, such as making <strong>Tò he</strong> (traditional figurine toys) and wooden lanterns. Under the guidance of parents and teachers, the children eagerly showcased their talents and creativity by sculpting colorful clay into lively and whimsical <strong>Tò he</strong> figures. Each child chose their favorite colors and shapes to mold familiar animals or characters from folk tales. Moreover, assembling small wooden pieces to create a lantern helped the children learn more about the significance of patience, skillfulness, and the importance of preserving traditional cultural values.</p><p style="--fontSizeDesktop: 16px" class="fs-desktop">Creating these handicraft items was not merely a playtime activity; it was also an opportunity for the children to develop their thinking skills, foster perseverance, and build teamwork abilities. Especially when the children proudly showed off their vibrant lanterns or their adorable little <strong>Tò he</strong> figurines to their parents and friends, it brought them immense joy and became a source of motivation to continue exploring their creative potential.</p>
