Love this fun flannel from Stortyime ABC’s. When I saw it, I knew it was a perfect activity to give my Lunch pieces extra mileage. And, like almost every library, we’ve got some of those cauldrons from various Halloween and Harry Potter programs. So all I needed was the rainbow pieces and, voilà!, the story of the Magical Rainbow Stew.

Take an apple
Put it in the pot
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out. What will it be?
The prettiest red you ever did see.

Repeat with orange, yellow, green, blue and violet fruits or vegetables and rainbow pieces. As you can see I went for ignored indigo and my stew probably would taste pretty horrible (unless you are the mouse in Lunch) if it wasn’t transformed into a magical rainbow. Here are all the ingredients and the final result:

Update: Extended version for St. Patrick’s Day in which the rainbow turns into the leprechaun’s gold.
