Story is a super powerful learning gizmo. Tales Toolkit is an interactive, child-led resource featuring easy to remember symbols representing story structure: ‘Character,’ ‘Setting,’ ‘Problem’ ‘Solution.’ Early years children create stories around interests using anything to hand: favourite toy, conker, picture of Grandma…you name it!

Practitioners complete online training and implement what they’ve learnt with physical kits, and pretty soon the whole class is letting their imagination run wild!

Children have their voices heard, learn to play and play to learn; teachers facilitate low-planning, high-impact storytelling sessions and parental involvement.

With over 250 schools globally, and an impact report from Goldsmiths University of London showing a difference made to many areas and characteristics of learning. Tales Toolkit has become a recognised tool in the push for more holistic, playful, child-led learning for many practitioners and experts.

Tales Toolkit helps develop communication skills; confidence; innovative thinking; creative problem solving; self-regulation and executive function through a scaffolded learning approach. It also lays the foundations for successful engagement with language for later learning.
