“Storyshaping is a wonderful way of getting adults and children to use their imagination. What I love about the idea is its essential simplicity and the fact that both adults and children can open up the possibility of surprising themselves by exploring through structured play, the many exciting possibilities of narrative and language.”

“ Children are very creative if given the right environment. Storyshapes encourage the development of creativity by drawing out images, different ones for every telling, from the children’s imagination. Each story is original and owned by the children themselves. The Storyshaper (the adult) leads the questioning, linking the ideas the children provide. This method is unusual in that it crosses all the boundaries of age, gender, culture, and language, EYFS, through primary school, to family groups. An all inclusive resource. ”

“The children were enthralled by the experience and spoke up freely and enthusiastically. They have loved being given an extended opportunity to make and build their own ideas into an exciting and interesting collaborative story.”
