Resource - Story boxes, guidance and ideas

A story box is a miniature setting, a shoe box-sized stage with a background and objects within it relating to either to a specific book, or to a common story scenario.

Story boxes are a great resource to support children’s exploration of stories. They form areas in which to retell a favourite story, as well as creative arenas for children to make up new stories too – both encouraging talk, imagination and literacy skills.

Our story box guide contains ideas for boxes based on In the Night Garden, as well as for castle, birthday and arctic themed stories.
