Introducing the release of the first of five. LITTLE DINO DUDES STORY BLOCKS
Targeted to Pre Schools and Early Learning Centres for children aged 2-5, these stories depict various Dino Dude characters as their days adventures highlight one particular value that children should be very familiar with by the age of five.
The story blocks series cover: Honesty, Justice, Determination, Consideration and Love with many more planned in the series.
Story block pack consists of:
Ordering and Payment:
Our first story block set in the series is:
Value 1: Honesty ... the best policy
Little Big Foot
This first educational pack deals with Bluey the Theropod dinosaur as he experiences the need to show HONESTY to Princess, one of the Sauropod twins, after a genuine accident.
What makes these blocks different from generic story stones & blocks?
There is nothing new about hand-painted story blocks. In fact many artists do their illustrations on stones or large beach pebbles. Story stones/blocks are illustrated to a wide variety of subjects. For example, the life cycle of a butterfly, climate, agricultural, insects, birds etc, etc. You can find the wide range on the web.
Such stones are usually available to purchase singularly by choice and are often found at markets. We at Little Dino Dudes intend to provide a similar broad selection covering many topics and these will also be available for single and small quantity purchases. In fact we will produce blocks by request on most any subject you require.
The difference with our story block education packs is that they are illustrated to accompany a story which would be read to the children. The teacher shows each story block in turn as it connects with the story. Each block is numbered with a corresponding number printed in the story booklet alongside the relevant text.
This fits in with existing practise of reading to children of this age but also combines a visual aide that is designed to stretch the child’s imagination. After the reading the children are encouraged to select blocks and make up their own stories which will further stretch their imagination.
Special School Visit is available.
