eeBoo: Fairytale Mix Ups, Create A Story Pre-Literacy Cards, 36 Flash Cards, Encourages Interactive and Imaginative Play, for Ages 3 and up

Due to my husband losing his job, I recently decided to home school my preschool aged daughter to save money. I spent what I would have spent on one months worth of preschool tuition and bought a huge amount of teaching aids (all tax deductible, I might add). These made it into the mix and have been well worth it!!! They are fun, easy to use, and really inspire a kids creativity! In fact, I nanny and home school two of the kids along with my daughter and they both love these as well! There are several other eeBoo "Tell Me A Story" card lines that I may consider purchasing as well. The kids love picking cards and using the pictures to let their imaginations run wild as they tell stories! I love how it helps them flex their creative muscles and learn several other really useful skills during the day! By far, our "story time" is one of the favorites of the kids I teach and mine too, thanks to these cards!

So so much fun! My 4 year old asks to tell me stories/have me tell stories multiple times a day

There's a bunch of ways to utilize these cards, but we like to mix them up and choose a random card and make up stories. It gets really runny, it also helps with language development and story telling, imagination, and critical thinking. We have all the decks!

This card game is soo much fun. My daughter and I love playing it. The only thing I would say is that it is easy to fall into the same story..with variations each time since the cards seem to skew heavily toward the princess and the prince getting together and being married. That would be my only small complaint. For a little girl that is fine though. There are some nice unseamly and cute characters but sometimes it's slightly hard to work them in. It is a great imagination exercize though. We also got the circus version..animal circus I believe. We have yet to play these ones but it seems fun and I hope the cards allow for a little more variation in outcomes. It could just be us limiting ourselves with the story lines..it's hard to know!!!

My daughter is a bit young but we play with the story cards a lot. She makes up stories that make no sense. It's a good time when we play with it.

I wasnt sure about these - I mean its just picture cards. How fun could they be? My 5 and 8 year old LOVE them! The illustrations are beautifully fun. There are literally so many ways to use them. We can draw and take turns adding to a story, or keep cards in our hands to play. Right now my kindergartener is picking cards to make up her own story to tell me. Such a great imaginative resource, especially for us homeschoolers. Highly recommend, and I will be purchasing more of the different themes!

I bought this for my six year old grandaughter (who has a five year old sister) for Christmas. These are nicely sized cards and they come in a very nice, sturdy box with a slide out drawer. What I really like about this game is anyone can play it from the youngest child to adults. It's simple, uncomplicated and FUN! The more they play it, the more you see their imagination grow, and the stories become more creative. I think it's great. I may get one or two more sets. I imagine you could even mix them together. I'm very pleased!

I bought the Tell Me a Story Fairy cards for a longish car trip with my (newly turned) 3- & 1-year-old daughters. My three-year-old is into everything princess and completely flipped out! She begged me to tell new stories over and over... and over again! She or I picked out 5-10 cards, and I either left them random or looked at them and put them into some kind of logical order before making up a story. After a few times she got the hang of it, and I was able to include her in the story telling. "What do you thing will happen next? What is he about to do? Where did the dragon go?" My one-year-old even paid attention, looking at each picture and then holding each card as we finished with it. My oldest has asked to "play with the story cards" several times since our trip, but I'm saving them for an upcoming long airplane trip. The cards store so easily in the very durable spill-proof box. I think we'll be using these for several years to come and hopefully adding some of the other sets into our story repetoire.

Ho acquistato questo set di carte (due, per la verità, essendo padre di due bambine gemelle) come aiuto allo sviluppo dell'immaginazione e del linguaggio. L'utilità di questo articolo è proprio quello di spingere il bambino a raccontare storie sempre diverse usando carte con diversi personaggi e ambientazioni, cambiandone semplicemente l'ordine. In un mondo in cui gran parte degli stimoli vengono da TV e computer, è necessario riscoprire la bellezza dell'invenzione di storie e della loro narrazione a voce. La geniale collana "Tell Me a Story" di eeBoo ha una serie di temi diversi e tutti molto affascinanti e giocosi: Circus Adventures, Robot's Mission, Animal Village, etc. Ognuno può quindi scegliere il tema che più si avvicina all'interesse del bambino. Io ho scelto "Fairytale Mix-ups" perchè parla di regine, streghe, fatine, magie e principi: il tema preferito dalle mie figlie. Devo dire che la scelta è stata molto azzeccata. E' bello vederle impegnate nell'immaginare scenari sempre diversi e raccontarle con termini sempre più appropriati e proprietà di linguaggio sempre migliore. Il set di carte è ottimamente confezionato. Arriva con una protezione in cellophane. La confezione si apre a cassetto, ossia sfilando la parte che contiene il pacco di carte. Questo è di ottima qualità, con figure belle e colorate, dai disegni giocosi e personaggi ben caratterizzati. La plastica è rigida ed è davvero difficile piegare e rovinare le carte, se non con un uso evidentemente improprio. Un'idea davvero fantasiosa che merita di essere regalata a qualsiasi bambino.

Fun for the whole family.

Brilliant set of cards. Great for children to form stories with a beginning, middle and end. My 4 year old selects cards, lays them in the sequence she wants then tells her story. Some are hilarious, some a repeat of traditional tales or ones I have made up. They are a challenge to my imagination as well when she picks cards for me to turn into a story. Great for traveling too. Would make a perfect gift/stocking filler. Am considering others in the range.

Estoy muy contento con este conjunto de cartas (36) que sirven para contar cuentos a mi hija. Desde el primer momento mostró gran interés, y más cuando le conté la mecánica, que ella debía elegir 5 cartas (sin mirar) y en el cuento saldrían esos 5 elementos. Lo he usado además simplemente para ayudarme a mi a inventarme y contarle un cuento (con las cartas que hayan salido) como para que ella misma se invente la historia (tiene solo tiene 2 años y 10 meses e inventamos la historia a medias). Magnífico para fomentar su creatividad

This has become my 3 1/2 year old’s favourite game. He loves making up stories and has played with these cards non-stop for a week since they arrived. Great quality and fab story combinations. Perfect to fit in his back-pack for trips out post lockdown too.
