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. ✨

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! πŸ“¦ 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. πŸ’›

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:

🎡 Old MacDonald Had a Farm (sound board book + animal puppets)
🌈
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (book + 10 colourful felt puppets)
πŸ₯―
Five Currant Buns (handcrafted felt finger puppets — perfect for “buying” in the pretend bakery!)
πŸ“¦ All stored neatly in a
beautiful bamboo box so nothing goes missing

Why Parents Love It

βœ”οΈ No more “I’m bored” — it’s screen-free fun with endless play ideas
βœ”οΈ Makes bedtime stories interactive (and keeps little ones engaged!)
βœ”οΈ Supports early learning without feeling like “work”
βœ”οΈ Everything fits back in the box = tidy-up win πŸ™Œ

Whether it’s bedtime, rainy-day fun, or a chance to sit down and sing with your toddler, this Story Box makes learning feel like play.

The Start of Something New

The Nursery Rhymes, Numbers & Colours Story Box is just the beginning. We’re already planning more Story Boxes with classic tales, seasonal stories, and even themed sets.

And for those who want extra ideas, we’ll soon be offering online training with simple tips on how to get the most out of your box at home. πŸŽ‰
