What you need –

• Small Stones
• Stickers, magazine pictures cut-outs, felt pens

Story stones are essentially very simple prompts for narrative play. All you need to do is get some flat and smooth stones from a craft shop or your garden and decorate them with pictures of objects or animals. Choose one of the stones and start a tale based on the picture on it, then encourage your children to draw more stones and continue the story.
