The August Tale: Once Upon the Forest Floor
|
Storytelling with the littles or creative writing for bigger kids. A story and 12 story-starter cards for month filled with storytelling adventure.
*No experience necessary! Our next adventure brings us to a gathering in a clearing on the forest floor. Ladybug, Butterfly, Bird and Bee, Dragonfly and Snails and their little riders will adventure with us this month. "It is a special, even sacred, space - a small clearing really - where they will gather to dance and sing, telling stories and rekindling old friendships and making friends anew. The big people would never notice this special gathering place, nestled at the trunk of the tree, hidden from everyone but those who know just what they are looking for and have the keenest of eyes. Surrounded by little toadstools looking ever so alert, as if they are standing watch, the clearing will be a temporary home for those who come to stay." Start now and receive the July Tale as pdfs today free or your first month in the mail for half off. from $7-$29/month *storytelling is something anyone can do with a little bit of practice. It is like magic - I can't wait for you to try it! |

A note from Marna Widom
Everyone is a storyteller. Storytelling can sometimes be difficult in the beginning. When I first started, I had wonderful intentions but couldn't think of a thing to say! I didn't have a lot of confidence and didn’t trust my ideas. Now I know that anything that I made up would have delighted my child to no end. Our children are so eager to imagine with us! This is why I created Twelve Little Tales--to help other parents and teachers feel confident and equipped on their own storytelling journey. The content I create is simple, timeless and based in nature and seasonal wonder, while leaving room for all of your ideas and creativity. |
Your children will love your stories!
Each month you’ll receive a new story and as you weave tales through the month you will get better and better at telling stories together. Confidence is often our biggest deterrent - but try to remember, for children, an adult giving them undivided attention is one of their most favorite things. And when you look at their faces as soon as you start imagining with them and you will know everything is going ok :) Whether you have little ones at home, older homeschool children, a classroom full of young kids or even adult language learners! - you will find your own way of working with the tales. And always ask questions if you have them. I'm happy to help! Join our community of storytellers all over the world that have rediscovered the magic of childhood through this ancient practice. Happy storytelling! - Marna |
All subscription prices include shipping. One-Time payments available as well.

"Twelve Little Tales is a refreshing and magical invitation into the world of story for young children. I used the tales as creative writing prompts for my 2nd and 3rd graders. They loved diving into a magical land through Marna’s lovely storytelling and then being given the invitation to take over as storyteller as they chose their favorite of various story starters on beautifully illustrated story-starters. They produced more rich and imaginative writing than with the average journal prompt or story starter."

“I just printed my first story and if you are like me and always liked Twelve Tales but never ordered, don't hesitate any longer. I knew it would be beautiful but now I know I am going to be subscribing for a long time. They are just amazing.” - I
"The Twelve Little Tales brings so much warmth into our home. We read the stories and enjoy displaying all the amazing cards that come with it. My son already recognizes the package when we get it in the mail and he gets so excited! What I love the most about it is that we get to enjoy these stories in our native language (Spanish).” -C
