Stone Soup

We had a stone soup party this month. I hope it's the beginning of a new winter tradition. We started with a reading of Stone Soup. There are several versions, my favorite so far is the one by Heather Forest. After story time, we moved into the kitchen to prepare our own stone soup. Each family brought a few ingredients to contribute... (just like in the story)








Then while the real soup was cooking, we did a little craft, creating and coloring a pot and ingredients for the kids to make soup.
The littlest ones weren't very involved in any of the above activities, but they enjoyed each other's company!
And the tastiest part of the evening? Eating the soup of course!
