A simple way to expose your children to another culture's food is to visit an ethnic grocery story. The sights, smells, and sounds will transport you to another land.
Miss E and I immersed ourselves in another culture by visiting an Indian grocery store. I created a scavenger hunt using common ingredients in Indian food to help her explore the store.
I have included a FREE printable for the kids in your life to use for a scavenger hunt at an Indian grocery store. Please only use it for personal use, and do not sell the Indian Grocery Store printable.
Visiting an Indian grocery store is a wonderful cultural experience to provide your kids. Enjoy the scavenger hunt!

This looks like a wonderful hunt! What a gread idea!
what a wonderful idea!!! The drawings are great and I love how she is serious she is in her search!
I love this. I'm planning a farmer's market scavenger hunt!
I love your new blog look. Wonderful post!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I have actually even thought about bringing my friends to our local indian store to encourage them to find new things at home. I've pinned this onto our Indian Board http://pinterest.com/educatorsspinon/india-culture-and-hindi-language/ . We also pinned this book onto our Cooking with Kids Board. It was a sweet story and very similiar to what we do with Little Hands that Cook with Books Series. http://pinterest.com/educatorsspinon/cooking-with-kids/
We love visiting the various ethnic food stores around us. You are right about the sights, smells, and sounds transporting you to another land. :)
I really like the idea of a scavenger hunt there.
Yum! I can totally smell the store as I read this post. This is such a great idea Rebekah. We have so many Indian markets near us and I bet my 4 year old would love this challenge.
Rebekah- This is brilliant! We haven't been to an Indian grocery- but we go to a lot of Korean groceries. I may have to try this and link to you!!!!! By the way- I now make my own Naan!!!! We go through it so quickly that I literally make a batch every other day- It is so addicting!
love the pics. I have a cuban side of my family and when we go to miami and visit the cuban store I love it, It is so different than anything else here at home(GA) FSPDT
Great idea to draw the ingredients. I would love to know what you made with all the finds.
We love Indian food, but we have a really good restaurant so close, I never think to make it.
Very very fun. I always feel like Alice in Wonderland in ethnic grocery stores. Candied fennel sounds like it would be tricky to find. Is it?
