National Storytelling Week

National Storytelling Week will take place from 27th January to 4th February.

This fantastic annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world, they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy, they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills.


What better way to spend some special time with your child than to snuggle down together with just your imagination to create your own story? Use a picture book, a favourite toy or game, or familiar people to spark ideas and discuss the scenes or characters, using your imagination to be as wild and fantastical as you can be! Dream up new worlds together; they could be magical, hilarious, adventurous, out of this world – there are no rules or limits!
