Storytelling In 3D!


 
 

  Classic fairy-tale's never lose their relevance. Passed down for their morals and their art, nothing captures the soul of our collective heritages and the human condition like an artful story passed down from ages old.

  As iPads abound and books disappear new ways of teaching our youngsters the joy of narrative and story appear. Storytime Toys has come up with a great combination of play and story that even the most reluctant reader will enjoy. Pairing a book with a 3D model of the elements of one of three classic stories helps each one come alive in different ways each session. Choose from Goldilocks & The Three Bears, Hansel & Gretel, and The Three Little Pigs.

Read All About It!

 
 
  It starts early if you let it. the addiction, the vacant stare, the cravings for more and more...so what is this supposed menace to children? Reading! You are your child's first teacher and only you can show he or she the joy that reading can bring to a life. Intellectual curiosity, improved vocabulary, and a healthy imagination are just a few wonderful byproducts of reading to or with your child.

At the very youngest ages thick board books with simple pictures and only a word or two on each page are perfect for standing up to drool and familiarizing your child to the process associating words with visual representations.

As they mature your child will enjoy narrative story telling - a plot with identifiable situations and actions and most importantly this will lead to them reading on their own. 

An invaluable skill that begins with that one first book.
