Kids Story Pillow

How to Play

• Works best when kids are sitting around together.
• Non-competitive fun; there's no right or wrong way to play, just enjoy sharing stories with family and friends.

There are three ways your story pillows can guide your family's storytelling experience:

• Once upon a time: Begin by using your pillow pictures as prompts to tell an imaginary tale to your children. Take out one pillow from the bag on the table as a trigger for the beginning of your story, and add each subsequent pillow as the story progresses.
• "Take a turn" stories: Try playing a "take a turn" story together. Decide who will go first. Ask that person to pick a pillow from the bag and start the story. Each person then goes in turns to choose and add one pillow from the collection to extend the story a little further, until all of the pillows have been used both sides.
• Mystery stories: Choose who'll go first and invite that person to choose one pillow at random, using it as a prompt to start the story, and then turn it over, use the other side as a prompt for the next person. Continue around the table, taking turns to flip over one pillow at a time to extend the story.
