(TIP: Learn to paint rock sets yourself in my Rock Painting Masterclass: https://etsy.me/3cLi8sA

These make great birthday party favors! Take these Summer Story Stones with you on vacation and let your child tell summertime stories in his/her own words! This set of stones helps celebrate the fun times and sunny days of summer!

These sets are hand-painted with acrylics on natural river rocks and sealed with a varnish. The size, shape, and color of each stone will vary, but most measure 1.5 - 2 inches in circumference.

Story Stones can be used by parents or educators to guide a story along and encourage creativity. These adorable tools promote language growth, early literacy, social communication, and engagement in imaginative play. Just open the bag, pick a stone at random, and begin telling the story!

INCLUDES:

-9 painted stones with the following images: beach umbrella, flip flops, kiddie pool, picnic basket, beach ball, shovel and pail, ice cream cone, sun with sunglasses, and the word "Summer."

- A canvas or cotton bag for storage

- A printed card explaining the concept of Story Stones

HOW DO I USE STORY STONES?

-Pretend Play: These are perfect to encourage pretend play and imaginative play. Give a child a bag of story stones and let him/her use the characters for quiet pretend play. Let their imagination soar!

-Bedtime Stories: Taking a stone from the bag one at a time creates a story by giving you characters and tools to incorporate into the story. This also gives a different story line each time as the stones are drawn at random.

-Writing Prompts: Use in the classroom as a rewarding activity or as creative writing prompts or story starters. Teachers will love this engaging activity for all elementary ages!

-Travel Activity: a perfect way to pass the time on long trips! Have children take turns drawing stones from the bag and create a story together. Each time a rock is drawn, that person adds onto the story by integrating their figure into the storyline.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not paint the backs of my rocks unless otherwise specified. This is because many of my customers hide their rocks in parks as part of the "Kindness Rocks" movement. Public parks frown on placing painted items on the ground. In addition, I like to keep the natural surface visible. So your design will feature a "frame" of the natural rock on the front and the back will remain the natural stone.
