Talking Points
- "In the forest, we can find all sorts of magical ingredients for our soup. What do you think we should add next?"
- "Let's pretend to stir the soup together. Can you make a big stirring motion like this?"
- "Oh no! The forest animals want to taste our soup too. What should we do?"
- "What do you think our magic forest soup will taste like? Sweet like berries or savory like mushrooms?"
