✋🏼 A handful of stones. Infinite stories! 📖
We’re celebrating Read a Book Day by inviting children in Grades 1–3 to create their very own bag of story stones—decorated rocks that can be used as visual prompts for storytelling.
A little imagination can turn a few painted rocks into an adventure, a mystery, a silly tale, or anything they can dream up!
