How ’bout a Story?

Now this is really inventive! Tell Me A Story cards provide a unique, hybrid activity of reading and storytelling. Each collection focuses on a subject area (forest, animals, aliens) and features beautifully illustrated and intriguing images that encourage children to make up their own stories. A super fun activity, for sure. A set includes 36 different images on 3”x4” cards and instructions for a variety of games and activities. They also have a Write Me a Story collection, where each book comes with thematically linked but open-ended images in the form of stickers. Kids put the stickers across the top of the page in any sequence, then write the story below. Great for 3+.
