The 25 original Stories in "Felt Board Stories "go beyond reading and listening. They gently invite children to get involved. Children figure out riddles, chant repetitive lines, create their own storylines and endings, sing and count with characters, and sometimes even pretend they are the characters themselves.The Stories are easy to tell, read, and/or sing. Each one is written on an illustrated story sheet and comes with simple directions. Most of the Stories can be told with or without the felt board, but the felt characters and pieces help the "Felt Board Stories "come alive even more.
Children will want to hear these Stories often, so get ready to experience them again and again and again!
