People all over the world tell stories. And across different cultures, we actually tell stories with the same themes. It is a very important skill to be able to understand and tell a story with a beginning and an end. That skill can be strengthened by talking about a story while you're telling it, and telling it over and over.

Physical props can be a great help in teaching children to understand stories and storytelling. A hand puppet allows your child play with storytelling. Also, they're a super good way to bring a fairy tale or story to life. The storyteller is not hidden behind a book but gets to be active and in close contact with the listening children, who become participants instead of passive listeners.

Hand puppets are great to use at home with your child and in childcare centres – or for people with dementia or special needs.

Do you know Learning Resources?

As you can tell from their name, it's essential for Learning Resources to provide children with materials that make learning fun.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is at the centre at Learning Resources. For example, your child can learn to explore and experiment, build robots, and learn to code. For teachers and educators, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Math games, coding dinosaurs, and sorting animals can really spice up the teaching.
