Lakeshore Learning Social-Emotional Storytelling Kits

Empower children to explore emotions, empathy, and character development through play with the Social-Emotional Storytelling Kits - Complete Set. This charming collection of three kits brings social themes to life using 10-12 washable, soft-sewn storytelling pieces per kit. Each comes with a themed backdrop (treehouse, bucket, or classroom) that doubles as convenient storage, turning each scene into an immersive storytelling experience. As students retell stories and engage with each character, they navigate concepts such as kindness, diversity, inclusion and friendship in a way that's both accessible and age-appropriate. Designed to build emotional literacy alongside early language skills, these kits are perfect for group discussions, roleplay activities or quiet reading corners.
