One of my granddaughters was given a very unique gift for Christmas, Rory's Original Story Cubes. I highly recommend this item for any child. She is 5 years old and really enjoys it. It comes with 9 cubes (dice sized), each with 6 different images, for a total of 54 images. The object is to mix them up and roll them out, using the images face up for a story. Pick any one to start with and create a story using all images. Each player, in turn, is supposed to pick another image and add to the story. We do it a little differently. Each person does an entire story using all nine. I am amazed at how creative a pre-school five year old can be. She loves playing the game, always bringing it to me to play, taking turns. I love to hear her as she works each image into the story. She seems to enjoy my stories as well.
I looked at Amazon and discovered there are other versions with different themes. The cost is around $7-8. I think you'll be as impressed as I am.
