Storytime

This was a great activity for my son to be creative independently. The full extent of creativity involved in this crate was amazing, and he got to build and create different stories over and over again. Additionally, the dry-erase board was a perfect tool to practice writing letters with the addition of the educational cards

I love that the storytime crate allows for so much open ended play. It was easy to put together and my son loved making up his own stories. He especially loved rolling the curtain up and down. This crate leaves a lot to do after the crate is put together, and the small container to keep everything together for easy storage!

The puppet theater with a working curtain was a huge hit! I love that the pieces are magnetic so they will last through a lot of wear and tear. My 4 year old loves making different scenes and coming up with different storylines for all of her characters.

My son LOVES the magnets. This one he needed lots of help with from me, but overall I love it too. The flashcards are great. He may just be a little too young (2.5 yrs old) for this one, but I think that the puppet theater curtain was a little too hard for someone with little hands to roll up and down, it required a bit more strength and dexterity I think. But good practice for him in any case!

Love the clever use of magnetic white board behind the scenery to attach magnets. For a relatively complex kit, my almost 4 yo jumped right in to changing our "backdrop". He puzzled a bit at first with the curtain but very quickly got the hang of rolling it down, and loved the control of ending the scene, or revealing the next one he'd set up. I loved that it got him to tell stories out loud - not always what I would have thought from the scenes he'd created but that was a good surprise for me. Thoughtful to have included the long envelope to store the magnets. Appreciated so much that you included children of color.

Both my 3 year old and six year old loved this crate and have been telling stories to family members. I love how everything is magnetic and stays in place well, even with constant kid jostling.
