Customer Reviews

We are really loving this set of cards. Each depicts a setting, a character, an object typically found in fairy tales (Castle, Frog, Wedding Cake, Princess, Castle, Locked Door, Key, Witch, Stormy Clouds etc. 36 in all). A card detailing suggestions for how to play with and use the cards is also included. The illustrations are nicely detailed, colorful, and sugggestive of common fairy tale themes and stories. The lack of words makes it possible to invent any story imaginable.
We play a game where we deal a set of cards and have to make up a story based on the set. My 3 year old thinks this is very fun and is learning to weave the elements of narrative to make a compelling tale with us helping her connect the dots. She also likes to play on her own using the cards as play props for her imagination.
Instead of reading the same book every night, we can invent a new story with the same familiar characters. Very appealing. i plan to buy more of these sets.

In a world that is overly innundated with television, DVDs, video games, high tech, and high noise toys, these cards are a lovely respite... and they were an enormous hit with my somewhat over-indulged kids (sisters ages 4 and 5). (My kids have so many "high tech" toys that I was surpised how much they liked these simple cards.)
The cards are very nice quality (cardstock) and beautifully illustrated. They include interesting details that can really add to a story. Some of the themes are carried out through multiple cards (a princess, princess climbing down the castle wall, etc.) making it easy to tie them together with a story.
I was really surprised by how well my kids took to the cards. We made it a pre-bed activity to divide the cards between them and have them each invent a story. I also made it a game for them to take turns telling and adding to a single story. And they love when mom puts random cards together and invents something really wild.
The cards are a fun way to play together and jump start imaginations.
