Homeschool Storytelling AND Creative Writing

"Marna, We've been really enjoying the new writing pages! I think the kids were 5 and 6 when we started and now they're almost 10  and 11, so we've gone from pre-writing to writing over the years,  and you've helped light passion in it for us all the way, and still do!" - M

Hello homeschooling families!

Many of Twelve Little Tales subscribers are homeschoolers using the stories for early childhood and younger grades
story-time and for older children to use for creative writing. The open ended cards allow for imagination to flow or for one to creatively incorporate the subjects that are being studied in the current curriculum.
Each month comes with approximately 1100 words of story-starting magic so theres lots of reading involved too!

Children are amazing storytellers!

You will find that when given small prompts the children's imaginations run wild and they will come up with wonderful stories filled with adventure. 

For adults, storytelling can sometimes be difficult in the beginning.

When I first started telling stories to my young daughter I had wonderful intentions but couldn't think of a thing to say! I didn't have a lot of confidence nor could I form ideas that seemed "good enough". Now I know that anything that I made up would have delighted my child to no end. But, I know that others have the same experience that I did. This is part of the reason I created Twelve Little Tales, so that I could help others with story-starters and ideas each month. The content is simple, timeless and based in nature and seasonal wonder and leaves room for all of your ideas and creativity. 

Some words from happy homeschoolers:

"We loved using the tales for our creative writing this past year! My boys would draw story cards and glue them into their journals to use as prompts. Sometimes the stories would go on for pages they were so excited to keep the characters going!"
- C. Lyons

"Our journals that we use for creative writing in our homeschool are filled solely with these tales. That they ignite the imagination of my 11 and 16 year olds speaks to the beauty of how these tales speak to all ages. We have used these exclusively for over two years and where we have gone with them is magical and wonderful and memories have been made that we will forever cherish. They opened deep and beautiful spaces in the minds of our children and that is above and beyond our wildest expectations." - H. Dunham
