Making things, singing and food...You should combine them all by making food and singing about what you're making. Don't sing and eat though, you might choke! 😉
Working with our hands is something we are slowly losing as a society; Everything is pre-made, processed and packaged so people don't have to be as independent. It's good to have some skills though, to be able to turn one's hand to the creation of something we need like a tool, food or other such item. I mean the human race has thrived through our ability to make things, to think up what we need and create it, but these days so many simply don't know how to do it.
Cooking is a good example. Here almost everything is available pre-made and so many don't cook anymore, they heat up, or order it delivered...Back when I was a kid my mum made everything, not butter and oil, milking cows and things, but meals for sure, even bread. If we needed something we grew it or made it...These days it's all available at the shop.
They say humans are more clever these days but I disagree...How many know when to plant seeds just by the change in weather, or how to preserve the harvest to ensure there's enough for the winter...Some for sure, but not many....Smart phones and the internet haven't made us smarter, just more reliant upon others.
Anyway, thanks for your great answer this week, and for supporting the community.

We are smarter in a sense, but knowledge has become too specific to be integral. That's why hand labor is fading away and being replaced by commodities. It is a shame. Some people don't get to taste the flavor of bread you made with your hands.
Thanks for the activity. It is a cool place to meet some new friends.
