Food Tales: Stone Soup
Food Tales: Stone Soup
This summer at Ford House, storytime comes with a side of art and a snack to match.
Every week, we’re reading a food-themed picture book and making art inspired by the story. A new book, a new project, a new reason to get a little messy. Children ages 4 and up are welcome.
This week’s pick is “Stone Soup,” by Marcia Brown. Three hungry soldiers, a village of skeptics, and one very clever idea about what happens when everyone contributes something. After the story, children will create their own artwork inspired by that legendary pot of soup.
Snacks are included, because of course they are.
This program is designed for children ages 4 and up. If your child is 3 or younger, our free Storytime on Tuesday mornings is a wonderful fit.
