Let's Eat! Family Storytime

  1. Vintage dollhouse food from Juliet Pain


    Let's Eat!



    As always, I like to have a big pile of titles to choose from, but I usually only get in 3 or 4 at my evening storytime.



    I will definitely highlight Monster's Don't Eat Broccoli, which contains this charming refrain: "Fum, foe. fie, fee, monsters don't eat broccoli!". I think that the kids will love it!

    The soup is boiling up
    The soup is boiling up
    Stir slow-around we go
    The soup is boiling up.

    First we add the broth

    First we add the broth

    Stir slow-around we go

    The soup is boiling up.


    Now we add some carrots

    Now we add some carrots

    Stir slow-around we go

    The soup is boiling up.


    Continue with whichever vegetables you children want. Have the children stand around a large imaginary pot pretending to stir the soup.
