What’s the craziest yet most delicious recipe idea that you can think of for a cup of hot cocoa? What ingredients might be a yummy way to spice up that mug of cocoa?

Welcome to The Fairy Tale Art Cart, a podcast where you get to become the illustrator of the stories you hear: hosted by art teacher turned globe-trotting professional storyteller Rachael Harrington. If you’re a parent looking for imagination-inducing screen-free activities for your kids using simple art materials that you already have- you’re in the right place!

This week's episode is a little bit different than the usual style of folktale draw-along episodes found here in The Fairy Tale Art Cart. Rachael's kids were sick this week, so she's instead bringing a fun and music filled illustration prompt episode: come draw-along and create a picture of a mug of hot cocoa in a setting that YOU get to dream up!
