The reality of home-made, non-pinterest-worthy story stones looks a little like this (very cool retro suede fringed bag was an exciting op-shop find):
How we decided to play with them:
We all take turns. Player one chooses five stones, carefully considers them for a moment and then launches into an oral story using the picture on each one.
Then we put the stones back into the bag.
Player two chooses five fresh stones and tells their own story.
A couple of the children here have a go, but usually they prefer it when Mummy tells a story!
It can be a bit tricky getting a pen to work on your stones (I'm way too messy with paints) - a bit of trial and error, and it would have been better to maybe use some spray fixative as a lot of handling smudge the pictures off! You can see evidence of that on the bottom right hand corner of the above photo (cave) or above the bucket stone (pond).
Here are some most-excellently-Pinterest-worthy ideas for story stones:

Really enjoyed reading the story about stones. It gives a simple and meaningful look at how nature shapes our world.
ReplyDeleteI recently completed my home renovation project and chose The Stone Evolution for premium wall solutions. I must say, their product quality and service truly exceeded my expectations. The texture, finish, and durability of their materials are outstanding. In the middle of exploring different options I finalized Natural Stone Wall Cladding from them and it completely transformed the look of my living space with a rich and elegant appeal. The team was supportive, professional, and delivered on time. If you are looking for reliable products with excellent craftsmanship, I highly recommend The Stone Evolution for your next project.
Seema Minerals is a highly professional and reliable company known for delivering premium quality mineral products with excellent service standards. My experience with them was extremely positive as the team carefully understood my requirements and guided me at every step with complete transparency. During my visit I was searching for high quality Diatomaceous Earth for filtration and industrial applications and I was truly impressed by the purity, consistency and performance of the material they supplied. The packaging was secure, delivery was timely, and overall coordination was smooth. I genuinely appreciate their commitment to quality and would confidently recommend Seema Minerals to anyone looking for trusted mineral solutions.
