Bring-Your-Own Stone Soup

Retell the delightful French folktale Stone Soup! Your whole family can color and tear paper veggies to add to the pot.

1. Gather together to read or retell the story of Stone Soup. What vegetables would you bring to the pot?

2. Tear a soup cauldron from black construction paper. Glue the pot to white paper with a Crayola® Glue Stick.

3. On more construction paper, cover areas with vegetable-like colors using Crayola Bold Markers. Tear into shapes such as carrots, beets, and broccoli. Glue veggies above the kettle’s top. Color and tear out fiery flames to glue below the soup pot.

4. Why not ask an adult to help you write your soup recipe? Cook it for a truly memorable experience!
