Making Storytime Magical: Meet the New StoryTimeSets Story Box                                                      At Puppets, Plays & Story Days, we believe that the best learning happens when children are having fun. β¨                                                                   That’s why we have created something new, exciting, and a little bit magical, introducing                                              StoryTimeSets                                               , a collection of                                              Story Boxes                                               designed to make stories, songs, and rhymes come alive for little learners.                                                                  What’s a Story Box?                                                      Think of it as storytime in a box! π¦ Each Story Box is filled with carefully chosen books, puppets, and props to turn reading into an adventure.                                                      Instead of just listening to a story, children can join in, act it out, and bring characters to life. It’s the perfect way to build language skills, spark imagination, and create those giggly, wide-eyed moments we all love. π                                                      Our First Story Box: Nursery Rhymes, Numbers & Colours                                                      We’re kicking off StoryTimeSets with a box that’s packed with favourites you probably know by heart:                                                                   π΅                                              Old MacDonald Had a Farm                                               (sound board book + animal puppets)                           π                                              Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
