And then ...
LOVE this beautiful 'And Then' story starter kit, just in today. And Then ... is a collection of 20 story beginning cards with no endings because that is up to you! Each card has a tantalizing start to a story that children will want to finish. Afer the "And then ..." it is up to them to decide what happens next. With stories of underground tunnels, hot air balloons and secret door-ways in the woods, there's plenty of creative inspiration for everyone.
Not just for bed-time, this beautiful set is also great for car journeys, winter days indoors, even bath time! The cards are jumbo size, beautifully illustrated and printed on thick, durable card
stock with natural soy-based inks. They come presented in a
charming keep-sake storage box in the shape of a hard-back story book, making a unique gift idea for children of all ages.
Here is a few suggestions to get you started ... (p.s. there is no right or wrong way!)
1. Start a bedtime ritual - place the cards face-down and have your child choose one. Read the card aloud and then YOU finish the story yourself.
2. Pick a card during a car trip and listen to your child complete the story.
3. Turn the story starters into a writing exercise for older children
