About the course
You will explore a well-known children’s story. Then have fun making resources with your child to create their own special story box to take home. If story boxes are new to you, you will be supported making one through every step. A story box is a box containing a variety of resources and activities relating to a particular story, all designed to bring the story to life. In your box, you could make a jigsaw, simple puppets or indeed anything that could be used to retell and enjoy the story with your young child.
