Course summary
Get ready for a full day of imagination, hands-on fun, and creative discovery!
This unique school holiday program brings together the best of cooking and clay modelling for an unforgettable experience filled with flavour, art, and endless creativity.
In the morning, children will step into the kitchen to make their very own Bánh Mì — Vietnam’s famous and delicious sandwich. They’ll learn how to prepare fresh ingredients such as pickled carrots, cucumber, coriander, spring onions, explore new flavours, such as grilled Vietnamese chicken and pork skewer and assemble their sandwich just the way they like it. After all their hard work, they’ll sit down to enjoy their homemade Bánh Mì for lunch.
In the afternoon, the creative fun continues as children explore the world of clay modelling. Using air-dry clay, they’ll sculpt, shape, and design their own unique creations — learning basic techniques while letting their creativity shine.
It’s the perfect full-day experience for young makers who love to cook, create, and have fun!
What parents love most about YCC’s school holiday programs is that they’re always unique and a little bit different. And not to mention, so much FUN!
