Stories Rock!

Last night, I had the pleasure of meeting with some very creative early learning professionals to create some new tools for sharing stories with young children.  We reflected on the importance of providing a variety of tools, resources and materials for children to create and share their own stories, and then we set to the task of creating story stones to use in our programs.

It did not take long for this group to find their own inner artists!  Check out the pictures below!

Have you used story stones in your program?  I would love to see pictures!

I wonder what would inspire the children in these programs if they were given the same tools, resources and materials to create their own stories?  There may be a challenge here!

Next workshop is Thursday, October 6th.  Find more information here:
