Benefits of the Storyplaytime approach

from Storyplaytime founder, Justine de Mierre

If you're anything like me, the main thing you want out of an activity session is for your little one to enjoy it, so the emphasis with Storyplaytime is on having fun.

Sometimes, though, it's reassuring to know that the activity supports your child's development as well. That's why I designed these sessions with my knowledge of Child Psychology in mind as well as my experience as a mum, a storyteller and a children's theatre maker.

Below then, are just a few of the benefits of Storyplaytime sessions to your child's development:

Research increasingly shows the importance of imaginative play in children's development

Self awareness games help the development of your childs ability to understand and express their feelings appropriately

Communication games help children to start developing the skills to make friends and build relationships

New research suggest the brain is 'programmed' to respond to stories, so even the very young can engage with the storytelling element of sessions and begin to develop concentration and learning abilities
