Product Description

Storytelling isn't just fun for kids; it boosts creativity, communication skills, and literacy. These enchanting picture cards inspire kids to concoct silly, suspenseful, and remarkable tales. Each set includes 36 sturdy, laminated story cards, plus suggested activities. (Children can use them individually, parents can use them, or play groups can build stories together.) Great travel toy, too. For ages 3 and up. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy Gold Award There are many developmental benefits to storytelling. Storytelling helps kids communicate their thoughts and feelings, while processing information they are learning about their world. It helps them understand and empathize with people unlike themselves. And it helps them hone their planning and sequencing skills. The story cards' artwork was created by popular children's book illustrators Each storytelling set includes thirty-six 3" x 4" cards, housed in a sliding-tray box for easy access and storage

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun family time! January 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
We bought these for our 5-year-old received these for Christmas -- a big hit! The cards are really high quality and durable. The illustrations are sweet and funny, just right for inspiring some good, wacky, nonsensical, mysterious -- you name it -- stories. As our 5-year-old is just learning to read, these have given her some new ways to think about storytelling and to build those cognitive skills as she develops her reading skills. Our 7-year-old is an avid storyteller and is enjoying them, too. Even our 2 1/2-year-old loves the pictures (she thinks the owl dressed in a police officer's hat talking to squirrels in a tree is hilarious). We know she will grow into these further, and the quality means they'll have some staying power. Highly recommended for good family fun and alone-time play that builds storytelling skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good concept to mix up story time September 4, 2010
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought these for my four year old daughter, as she has a very active imagination and loves to pretend play. The cards are lovely water color drawings on nice, heavy cardstock. They come in a neat little box with tray that slides in and out. The fist time we opened them, it took a little bit of time for her to get the hang of making up a story, but she got better with it as we went on and my helping her by taking turns. I agree that they do take up quite a bit of room to lay them all out at once, but she found this a little overwhelming anyway. So, I grouped them up as best I could (the pictures have lots of overlap to allow building the stories). Now when she opens them, there are small sets that *could* make a somewhat logical story. I think as she gets the hang of it, we'll be able to use more and more cards. These would make an excellent Christmas gift, and just hearing my little one tell ME the story is absolutely priceless!

This product is a great pre-reading idea for kids. My granddaughter loves making up her own stories. My sister is a Kindergarten teacher and she is buying a set for use in her classroom.
