Growing Vegetable Soup

In early spring we learned about vegetables and all the good things God gives us from the garden.  We read Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert and decided to make our our vegetable soup.

Each child was assigned a vegetable to find at the grocery store.

We took turns preparing each vegetable.  

These 2 boys are busy washing green beans.

Then we chopped the vegetables.  

Where possible, and safe, we tried to let the children be independent with the preparation.

T was able to cut this potato with a butter knife.

Once prepared, we placed each item in our croc pot.  

It was so neat to see the inside of each vegetable.  

"Unwrapping" corn was super cool and a first for many in our classroom.

The end product was delicious!

We had fun making our own place mats and tasting new foods.

We even had many requests for seconds!
