Story Stones - a fun and interactive way for children to explore, retell, or create stories.

Story Stones are super fun and interactive! They support your child's foundation skills in many areas - speaking, seeing, hearing, & print concepts as well as being a great sensory item that encourages imaginative play. Story stones are simple to make at home from resources you may already have or can collect. A walk may find the stones, you can cut pictures from magazines, paint the stones, or use stickers.
