Welcome to the Storyplaytime Website!

Here's the place to find out all about what Storyplaytime is, where events are happening and how to book your very own session!

 
 
What is Storyplaytime?
  • Storyplaytimes are fun activity sessions for the under 5s and their grown ups. 
  • The sessions engage and delight children and grown ups with songs, games and movement, all inspired by a story or theme.
  • We always end with some interactive storytelling - so everyone can join in the actions! 
 
What's great about Storyplaytimes?
  • They're fun and they bring stories to life
  • They're designed for under 5s, so there's no having to sit still for too long!
  • The activities are easy to follow with simple or no equipment - so you can carry on the fun by re-creating them at home
  • The activities support children's development (More info here )
  • They encourage teamwork and playing together (for children and grown ups!)
 
What sort of stories and themes are there?
  • Book-themed - like Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Janet & Allan Ahlberg's Peepo!
  • Story-themed - like Cinderella or The Billy Goats Gruff
  • Idea-themed - like Nature or Home... or anything else you can think of!
 
Where do Storyplaytimes happen?
 
We're based in Suffolk, but travel nationally, so pretty much wherever they're wanted!
You can click here to find out about current events, but here are a few examples of where we've done sessions:
  • At Pre-schools and Nurseries        
  • For Book Festivals        
  • For Birthday Parties        
  • At on-going weekly sessions locally
 
Who's involved?
 
Storyplaytime has been set up by Justine de Mierre - a storyteller, actress, theatre director and, probably most importantly, mum!
