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!
