Announcement
Hi all, we have a new shop section here on ‘The Stone Story Company’ entitled Emotions Toolkit®. This is my other company helping children unlock their superpower and learn to self-regulate their emotions. So important as children struggle to manage worries, stress and anxiety. The products are available here on Etsy so that we can offer them worldwide, and with online tutorials and downloadable materials (coming soon) it makes learning the techniques that much easier.
Take a look and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask :)

5 out of 5 starsThe order arrived fast, with a lovely handwritten note (that was a wonderful detail!).
The design on the rocks is so cute! Thisis a great way to encourage imagination, and to stimulate language and vocabulary learning.
Great buy! -

About TheStoneStoryCompany

Design Time is going digital with my fantastic iPad Pro!

Stone Story production is fun, from washing all of the pebbles to applying my unique designs 🎨

I love to get pebble gifts from friends and family when they visit different places. The rest of the time B&Q works 😀

What came first? The stone or the story?
I began Stone Stories in 2015 after finishing teaching full time in a fantastic school in Nottinghamshire. The years of experience working with the little ones in Early Years and Key Stage 1 meant that I had lots of knowledge that I wanted to share to improve language, vocabulary and creative storytelling. Stones were my go to choice as they are tactile and who doesn’t love to pocket the odd smooth and beautiful pebble from time to time. The design has evolved since 2015 quite a lot. Initially drawing images directly onto white pebbles became impossible as orders grew so I perfected the design we have today that is durable and washable and means I can make many more. My stones were previously available on my other Etsy shop ‘DebstaArt’ and with new big plans for Bookshelf editions I took the decision to open The Stone Story Company here on Etsy too.
Recently I have started transferring all of my original designs onto my iPad so that you all get the best quality images I can create.
I hope you love them as much as I do and have fun playing with your children, because play is a child’s work 😀

Sizing details
The stones used vary in size from 2-3 cm up to 5-6 cm for this reason I recommend that the the sets of Stone Stories are suitable for age 3+.
Can you create any story?
I am more than happy to create bespoke set of stone stories for you using my own unique drawings and designs. Please do understand that due to copyright infringements I cannot create Stone Stories for modern popular stories without first seeking Author/Illustrator permission.
Care instructions
The making process of Stone Stories is such that they should be pretty robust and last a good while. They are lacquered with a clear acrylic too which means they are washable if you have been storytelling in the garden, and you can tell stories in the bath.
What will my child learn through playing with Stone Stories?
That is a great question. The child’s ability, gender, or first language isn’t important because with Stone Stories children will develop vocabulary at their level and pace. Storytelling is something we all do in everyday life from recounting our day over dinner to explaining our thoughts and feelings. Stone Stories help children to develop the art of storytelling aiding communication and fostering a love of story.
The amazing thing is that they don’t need to sit still indoors to do it as Stone Stories can be used anywhere! 😊
