Story Baskets - Make and Take - “The Flower that Smiled”

Date Mar 12, 2022 | Time 9:00am - 11:00am

** Participants must be able to pick up the story basket kit from our office before the workshop**

In a world where we are constantly rushed, storytelling is almost a lost art. In today’s electronic age children are losing their creative thinking and their ability of creating images in their mind. However, storytelling is one of the traditional ways to teach our children lessons about life. Through storytelling children develop listening skills, patience, problem solving, creative thinking, and many more skills used in their early years development. Story Baskets are created to expose children to various ways of learning and are a hands-on approach to education. Join me in marvellous world of story baskets and create a story of your own.

I presently teach the Early Childhood Education program at Ridge Meadows College in Maple Ridge. I am passionate about children and I am passionate about stories and their teaching power.
