Sep 29 2025 Family Stories Discovery Kit
This interactive guide is designed for grandparents and grandchildren (ages 4-10) to use together — either in person or at a distance. The kit offers ideas and activities to bring stories to life — from family histories you hope to pass down to original tales you invent from scratch. Use the activities to connect with grandchildren through the art of storytelling, using dramatic play, creativity, and imagination.
The 14 pages include:
- How storytelling connects grandparents and grandchildren
- Tips for telling a good story
- Fun ways to share your family stories (“Tell a Story in 5 Objects” and “Family Portraits Through Objects”)
- How to create your own stories (“One-Word-at-a-Time Story” and “Mix-and-Match Story”)
- Activating stories through play
- Tips for grandparents living at a distance
