🌲✨Tell Me a Story - Forest Adventure Kit

🌲✨ Tell Me a Story 

Forest Storytelling Adventure Kit
Inspired by the BC Early Learning Framework
A take-anywhere storytelling invitation — no screens, just imagination.

🧺 What’s Inside:

• 🎲 9 Forest-Themed Story Dice (54 symbols = infinite tales!)
  
  

• 🧙♂️ 1 Tiny Gnome (3D printed)
  
  

• 🏡 1 Resin Gnome in a Home
  
  

• 🗝️ 1 Brass Key (What might it unlock?)
  
  

• 🦊 2 Handmade Forest Animal Tokens (threadable)
  
  

• 🐦 2 Wooden Bird Buttons
  
  

• 🪵 1 Wooden Stump for building, balancing, or storytelling
  
  

• 🪶 1 Real Feather (Who dropped it? What story does it tell?)
  
  

• 🧵 2 Cotton Cloth Squares for easy story backdrops anywhere
  
  

• 🎒 All tucked into a soft, forest-printed drawstring bag
  
  

Psst… we know this set will grow!
Get ready to add your child’s summer treasures — pine cones, rocks, shells, bark, and sticks — to build a forest story world all their own.

🎲 Easy Ways to Play:

🎤 Roll & Tell
Roll one or more dice, then tell a story using what you see.
Let your child take over and guide the tale.

🧙♂️ Gnome Quest
Who is the gnome? Where does he live? What does he need the key for?
Let your child lead the adventure.

🛖 Tiny Theater
Use the cotton square as your forest floor. Add animals, tokens, rocks or leaves.
Act out the story you create — voices encouraged!

🪵 Forest Clues
Hide an item (like the feather or a button) under the cloth.
Give clues until your child guesses what’s beneath.
→ Builds memory and symbolic thinking.

🛌 Bedtime Ritual
Roll 2 dice and tell a quick, cozy bedtime story together.
No pressure, just magic.

🪢 Threaded Friends
Use a ribbon or shoelace to lace the animals and buttons.
 Take them on a walk through the woods, or tie them into your tale.

🧠 Why It Matters

This storytelling kit supports the goals of the BC Early Learning Framework (ELF) by helping children:

• Express themselves through imagination & communication
  
  

• Build connection to land, place, and story
  
  

• Develop early literacy & sequencing skills
  
  

• Feel confident, heard, and creative
  
  

💬 A Note to Grownups:

You don’t need to “teach” — just notice and wonder.
Say things like:

“That’s such a cool idea.”
“Tell me more.”
“I love how you included the bird!”

These small moments of storytelling build big foundations for language, confidence, and connection.

Open-ended play is simple. Magical. And made for summer.
