Stone Soup or stew and Rabbit Stew

Today we read both books and I changed the title of stone soup to accommodate a cooking project.

Ahead of time, I made stew in a crock pot, but during the reading of the story, Stone Stew, I let each child place the ingredient listed in the story into a pot in the middle of the story area.

After completing other projects, I had the children make biscuits to accompany the stew. Each child received a bowl of the crock pot stew, minus the stones, to eat with their biscuits. It was a lot of fun tying the story and the cooking activity together.
