Twelve Little Tales Story Adventures
Hello storytellers!And yes - ANYONE can become the storyteller!
Storytelling is a magical experience for any child - and their adults! Storytellers, both new and experienced, use the Tales for monthly inspiration visiting new lands and meeting new friends each time. Some tell stories to and with their littles and some use the story and accompanying story-starters for their bigger kids as creative writing prompts. Adventuring with these simple Tales - to then be made into your own and appropriate for the ages of your child or children - is a delightful addition to each and every month. |

Hi! I'm Marna -a mother of two, a former Waldorf Early Childhood and Handwork teacher, spinner of tales, maker of art, and worker of fiber.
Thank you for visiting the land of Twelve Little Tales!

When I first started thinking about storytelling when my daughter was little 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 her to no end. This is why I created Twelve Little Tales - to offer inspiration! Our children are so eager to imagine with us! |
Testimonials from happy tellers of Tales

"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
