The Benefits of Story Stones

Visual learning tools (pictures or images) help children to focus and concentrate on the task in hand, whether it be creating stories or just following daily instructions such as hand washing or getting dressed.

Picture stones for story creating and storytelling are the perfect visual learning tool  for children of all ages. Not only do they help children to focus their thinking and generate ideas for story creating, they also:

Increase their willingness to communicate

Expand their vocabulary

Gain Confidence

Learn turn taking

Enhance listening skills

Story Stones are great fun and so intriguing too. Isn't it lovely to find a stone and see if it could look like something from its shape alone? There must be millions of heart, cloud and banana shaped stones just waiting to be discovered!

Story stones are the perfect sensory tool too!

With their smooth, varnished and shiny exterior they feel calming to the touch.

Having the sensory side to the stones helps lower a child's anxiety and stress levels as they feel the stones in their hands.  The shapes and colours of the natural stone  creates interest and can often be used as a talking point or to re-focus.
