Enhance the fun of Halloween with this set of Halloween Story Stones! Let a child tell spooky, crazy Halloween stories in his or her own words! These sets are hand-painted with acrylics on natural river rocks and sealed with a varnish. The size, shape, and color of each stone will vary, but most measure 1.5 - 2 inches in circumference. Story Stones can be used by parents or educators to guide a story along and encourage creativity. These adorable tools promote language growth, social communication, and engagement in imaginative play. Just open the bag, pick a stone at random, and begin telling the story! INCLUDES: -9 painted stones with the following images: haunted house, cat, ghost, spider, bat, witch's hat, candy corn (with "Trick or Treat!"), jack-o-lantern, and "Happy Halloween." - A canvas or cotton bag for storage - A printed card explaining the concept of Story Stones __________________________________ HOW DO I USE STORY STONES? -Pretend Play: These are perfect to encourage pretend play and imaginative play. Give a child a bag of story stones and let him/her use the characters for quiet pretend play. Let their imagination soar! -Bedtime Stories: Taking a stone from the bag one at a time creates a story by giving you characters and tools to incorporate into the story. This also gives a different story line each time as the stones are drawn at random. -Writing Prompts: Use in the classroom as a rewarding activity or as creative writing prompts or story starters. Teachers will love this engaging activity for all elementary ages! -Travel Activity: a perfect way to pass the time on long trips! Have children take turns drawing stones from the bag and create a story together. Each time a rock is drawn, that person adds onto the story by integrating their figure into the storyline. ___________________________________ Toddlers, school-aged children, parents, teachers, and therapists will all LOVE these story stones. These are a favorite among kids' toys for Easter gifts and Birthday gifts! ___________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: Supervision of children while using story stones is always recommended. __________________________________ NOTE: If you are using a mobile device and would like a custom order, click "Contact" or "Ask a Question" and let me know what you need.
