eeBoo: Animal Village Create A Story Pre-Literacy Cards, 36 Cards Included in The Set, Encourages Imagination, Creativity and Story-Telling, for Ages 3 and up

I bought this for my sons 5 & 8. We play this a couple of different ways. One way is for each person to take a card and make up a story about that card, and then the next person takes a card and builds onto the story. You also can lay all the cards out and build a sequential story. This card set is excellent for language development, memory recall, preparing for creative writing, as well as sparking the child's imagination! I could also see this as an excellent tool for play therapy, allowing the child to use the cards to talk about their feelings or perhaps what's going on in their life. Both of my sons truly enjoy playing with these, and it's fun to see where their imaginations lead their verbal storytelling. This set is fine for either boys or girls, it is gender neutral. The illustrations are colorful and engaging, showing many different characters, but at least three cards with the same character to allow a good story flow throughout the entire set. A few cards show all of the characters together doing different things, as is show on the box cover. A great price for a great purpose!

These are super durable & the art is amazing. Randomly picking the shuffled cards & telling different stories is super fun & feeds a child’s creativity. They’re a tiny bit bigger than a deck of cards. Totally worth the money!

These have been such a hit since they arrived last week, with both my four year old and two year old. We have used them at the dinner table to tell stories to each other just by looking at the beautiful art. Such a fun and wonderful way to bring our family together to talk and create and tell stories to each other. Both my children feel so proud when they’ve told their little story. Definitely going to be completing the collection with the other sets and I do hope you create even more!

We bought these for our 5-year-old received these for Christmas -- a big hit! The cards are really high quality and durable. The illustrations are sweet and funny, just right for inspiring some good, wacky, nonsensical, mysterious -- you name it -- stories. As our 5-year-old is just learning to read, these have given her some new ways to think about storytelling and to build those cognitive skills as she develops her reading skills. Our 7-year-old is an avid storyteller and is enjoying them, too. Even our 2 1/2-year-old loves the pictures (she thinks the owl dressed in a police officer's hat talking to squirrels in a tree is hilarious). We know she will grow into these further, and the quality means they'll have some staying power. Highly recommended for good family fun and alone-time play that builds storytelling skills.

I bought these originally because I really love Stephanie Graegin's illustrations and love games from this genre. The cards really are beautiful as expected and strudy, but it is hard to make a comprehensive story out of them. Many of them relate only loosely to one another. You can still talk about what you see in every card but not exactly to make a story.

Of the different games we have, Candyland, Memory, Go Fish, Guess Who, and even most of the apps on our iPhone, this is our favorite one. My three year old and I both love this game, her for the entertainment, and me both for it's educational value and the amount of fun we have playing it. I felt that I wasn't very good at making up stories, but my daughter was always asking for a new story. This game has helped us both become far better story tellers. I am amazed at the stories that both of us are able to make up. If you want to encourage your child to love reading, this is a great place to give them a love for stories. If they love something, they will be very motivated to learn. It improves their memory as you have the kids repeat stories. And their creativity just blossoms. I can't recommend this highly enough. Rather than take a lot of heavy books on the road, I take this small box of cards. It does take up a lot of space when you actually play, so it is better to spread them out on a hotel bed rather than in the airplane. I bought the Fairy Tale Mix-up for a friend, and she said the card didn't have as many different items in each picture. She found it was harder to make up new stories without the various items that the Forest Story Cards contained.

My 7 year old likes to shuffle the cards and we pick the next one on top and have to make up a story. It's great for imagination, critical thinking to come up with the next part so it fits in with the story, lots of giggles, and language development. We received a deck as a gift once and now have all the decks. It's a great learning tool and fun game!

This card is so funny and nice to play it Have always one in backpack when we travel

Muy divertido. Estimula la imaginación de niños y mayores. Muy entretenido y divertido. Todo un acierto!!

Molto stimolante sia per bambini che per adulti. I soggetti sono vari e spesso accomunati dalle vicende raffigurate. In ogni immagine ci sono dettagli da non sottovalutare. Il mio bambino di 5 anni ne è entusiasta. Ottimo per introdurre il concetto di narrazione e sequenze.

Received promptly in perfect shape. My kids (nearly 4 and 2) love the pictures and the older one tries to make stories or waits for me to tell one.

totally what we expected, kids start to build stories right away, pictures are agreeable arranged, cards make it easy to tell stories to kids instead of reading, would buy again.

Such good cards, we have a set for our older children and it is so fun to sit in a circle and make up a story using these cards! I bought these for a friends child who has speech and language difficulties as a way to help him develop his speech and they love them!
