What is Story-Based Play?
Story-based play is play that stems from and aligns with a great story. You set the stage when you read your child a great story (we feature many) and provide the toys (you probably already have the basics on hand).
Once everything's in place, start by reading the book a few times and completing a few activities from the story's Beyond the Book download. After that, present the toys you've gathered or purchased, step back, and see what happens.
Familiarity with and a fondness of the story will make it easy for your child's imagination to take over. The toys become actors or props, bringing forth learning without your child ever realizing what's happening. It's play…story-based play.
There are no plans. You don't plan to play. Play is powerful because it just happens. Simply provide the toys and allow the play to evolve on its own.
The link below takes you to the collections of toys that align with each of our Beyond the Book titles.
