Help Kids Become Storytellers

Storytelling should be FUN! Kids learn best when they are having FUN!

And there are so many fun ways to gather storytelling skills. From folding a tiny magic storytelling box while riding in a car…to creating a simple marionette or topsy-turvy doll in an afterschool class…to dressing up in costume for a parents’ night performance, storytelling can be lots and lots of fun.

The only thing most young storytellers need is an older person, a teen, parent, youth group leader, teacher, or neighbor to encourage them to try new things, explore the whole field of storytelling to discover their best talents.

Storycraft provides ideas on how to get started, easy beginning stories, turning toys and hobbies into tales, creating story helpers, and getting your audience involved…to name just a few.
