This beautiful Story Time Chair makes storytelling even more magical for kids. The benefits of storytelling go beyond kids learning literacy skills. Stories stimulate their imagination, broaden their view of the world and help them discover to get on with others. The way the brain responds to listening to stories is very similar to how it works when experiencing real-life situations, therefore storytelling is a gentle way of passing on early life skills to children. Listening to stories, asking questions and being with others doing the same, all help children become more social, and more inquisitive and interested in what others do, and what goes on around them.
