Stone Soup Recipe
By
Whether you’re doing a Unit on FOLKTALES or just reading adding it to your reading list, young kids always enjoy reading Stone Soup. After you’ve read the story a few times why not have each of the children bring a vegetable to school for a stew. Let them work on washable plastic placemats and use serrated knives to cut the vegetables into very small pieces. (Some vegetable are quite hard so either you can cut them or blanche them to soften for the children to cut).
Provide a washed stone and some chicken or beef broth. Cook all of the ingredients in a pot or an electric frypan until done (about an hour. I would let it cook through nap time and we would eat soup for afternoon snack!)
Reread or retell the story or simply discuss the story as the group eats the stone soup.
