I saw the fantastic idea of story dice here and had to make some! So, I ordered a bunch of blocks and Kaia and I spent a few days last week painting. She made a winter set and a spring set, and I made 4 sets of 4 blocks (extra sets for Kaia’s school K-2 class rooms). It was so fun thinking of things to put on them. We did a boy, girl, turtle, dragon, rabbit, house, beach ball, candle, egg, tree, car, bike, book, cupcake, flowers, boat, hat, balloons, ring, cup of tea, rain, butterfly, and a question mark (to make up your own). You can play many different ways, but the way we use them is to throw them out and create a story with the pictures that are on top. One person will start with a picture and then the next person adds on to the story with the next picture. It’s a really fun way to encourage creativity and imagination.
how cute! you’ll have to write down some of the stories that get told with them and post them.
Those are a really great idea! I think my D would love them. I’ll have to find me some scrap wood!
LOL
Love! Just placed the order to make four sets of these for gifts. My husband is an aspiring (and published!) fiction writer and I am planning on making him a set too!
)) Thanks for the ideas!
Yay!!! Please send me a picture when you have them done! I’d love to see what you came up with!
