That’s Not My Monster! Story Sack

Today’s story-time was chosen by Sophie and she wanted the story ‘That’s Not My Monster!’

Sophie and Georgia

Two children decided to join Sophie and take a role as a Monster using the stick puppets. Sophie chose a stripy, blue and purple Monster with five legs and two funny arms.

Georgia chose a funny-nosed and pink-horned Monster who she named ‘frog’ because he was green. Georgia recognised that hers was the Monster on the front of the book.

Counting the stripes, legs, spikes and arms

Sophie decided as Georgia had named hers, she wanted to give hers a name too! The striped Monster became named ‘Days Monster’ we have no idea why 🤣

Both girls loved the knitted baby monsters out of the story sack and played with them for ages. They even used them within their role play after the story.

Charlie

Charlie wanted to listen to the story and turn the pages, even when we didn’t need him too! At least he joined in!

When Sophie asked Charlie where the Monster eyes were, he pointed to them. Georgia asked him to point out the ears and said they are really fluffy!

We have started selling our bespoke story sacks on our online store, check it out!

World Read Aloud Day

Today is World Read Aloud Day and we wanted to show you some pictures of us reading and listening to stories. At Tracie’s Treasures, we have lots of different ways we read and have story time. We use iPads, computers, books, magazines, signs and much much more.

We all love having stories read to us and playing with puppets and toys to explore what the story really means and get involved. Tracie likes to take story sacks to the park and read to us using puppets.

Emma loves to use different voices for characters. We also listen to stories from Spotify on our Google Pebble or on story time CDs, theres lots of ways to read and listen to stories. But mostly! We love listening to our mummies and daddies reading to us at bedtime.
