Storytelling Bean Bags

The Storytelling Bean Bags are designed to help children aged 3+ develop their storytelling, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. This set includes 15 colour-coded, double-sided bean bags featuring 30 story elements: 10 characters, 10 places, and 10 events. Children can toss, catch, and arrange the bean bags to create their own stories, promoting creativity and imagination. The hands-on, tactile nature of these bean bags makes them ideal for engaging young learners in both individual and group activities. With an activity guide for parents and educators, children will be encouraged to think critically about how characters interact with places and events, while improving their narrative skills and language development.
