Cath Connell, the designer and talented owner of Leaf states, “Leaf was created out of an idea – that we need a new way to record, share and preserve our stories.” How right she is! How many times have your children made up the most wonderful stories? Encouraging this practice helps children with their English communication, grammar and of course their imaginations!

We were sent three delightful story sets namely, Kids Stuff, Girl Talk and Little Tackers. All are presented in small boxes with colourful, fun designed wrapping. As soon as we opened them we could see they were quality made, durable and intriguing! The reviewers, young and old all had a fun time making up stories – in fact over a couple of wines with the older girlfriends we heard some very creative story tellers! So much fun and definitely not just for the kids! These would make fun Christmas presents for friends and family – they’re a good size for posting too. Priced at only $19.95 you can purchase them through Leaf’s MadeIt or Etsy stores.

Kids can begin their stories with prompt cards such as “I dream about…” and “The best surprise…”

These little story boxes are a great idea for when you go on holidays, camping, for stay overs at friends houses and even just a quiet night in playing with the kids. They would be terrific as a gift for your child’s friends too!
There are seven Story Starters in the range from Leaf and all are worth a look here.
