Look at this inspiring #TalesToolkit setup! Children can independently choose characters, settings, problems, and solutions to build their very own stories. A beautiful invitation to ignite creativity, language, and a love of storytelling.

We love using recycled materials for storytelling – junk modelling becomes the perfect springboard for tales about dragons, deep-sea dives, or flying houses!

What recycled item sparked the last story in your setting?

We’re inspired by @allyshousechildcare’s brilliant use of Tales Toolkit! During play inspired by The Snail & the Whale, even 2-year-olds explored pollution & caring for our world. What a great example of playful, meaningful learning!
