Storytelling encourages communication, literacy skills, problems solving and a love of stories and books.

Most stories can be adapted for a range of age groups, and are told with puppets, props and music.

“
Thank you so much Ruth for yesterday. The children had a great time with you.”

“Thank you very much for the Elves and the Shoemaker story telling session yesterday. It was well delivered and the children were very engaged in the presentation of the story.
They really enjoyed your fantastic outfit and it really completed the experience for them, we hope that maybe you can come in again and tell us another story.
