Story Stones - Fairy Tales

Step into the enchanted world of storytelling with the Story Stones - Fairy Tales, a magical set of 13 tactile stones featuring classic fairy tale characters, objects, and settings. These richly illustrated stones are sorted into three subsets to help children organise and structure their imaginative narratives. With prompts such as œWhat did the wolf do in the woods with the wand he had stolen from the fairy? or œWhy did the princess give the giant an apple when she visited his cottage?, children are inspired to explore creativity while developing oral language and storytelling skills. Crafted from a durable stone and resin mix, the stones are ideal for indoor and outdoor use and easily washable, making them suitable for use across various learning environments.
