Storytime Theme: Soup
As I type this up, the snow is falling and I’ve already been outside once to clear the driveway, sidewalks, and car. With a few more inches expected before bedtime, I thought today would be the perfect day to make a stew that simmers all afternoon as the smells float through the house making my mouth water. A delicious crusty baguette warmed in the oven is the perfect accompaniment and one I’m looking forward to this evening.
Today’s storytime is a perfect, cozy lesson plan all about soup – from classics like Stone Soup to new amazing stories like Thank You, Omu! this is a treat for sure! And while you might not find a ton of songs about soup, go figure, I found some great activities, including a toddler-friendly soup recipe that would be fun to share! I’m off to add the veggies and potatoes to my stew, if you’re curious, here’s the recipe!
