August 2020 Giveaway: The Dot and Rory's Story Cubes

August 2020 Giveaway: The Dot and Rory's Story Cubes

This month we are going to share an imagination starter pack with one of you. We are pairing together The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds with the original set of Rory’s Story Cubes, and, with their powers combined, you’re sure to unleash the creativity of any child.

(Update 9/2/2020: Giveaway closed! Congrats to Shalom L. on winning!)

The Dot is a hugely successful classic picture book for a very good reason - it has a beautiful and universal message and it delivers it so well. The story combats the debilitating feeling of inadequacy that has the potential to creep up in any of us. All of us are capable of creating art and expressing ourselves, and I can’t stress enough how important the message in this book is for kids.

And, after using The Dot to overcome any self-doubt about our creative side, it’s the perfect time to pull out Rory’s Story Cubes and share a story with everyone. Quite frankly I can’t think of a better tool for unleashing the power of storytelling in children. I absolutely love Rory’s Story Cubes. It’s one of my very favorite activities to do as a family and very few things give me more pleasure than listening to our little ones craft their own tales.

Both The Dot and Rory’s Story Cubes have the potential to make a big difference in the creative and emotional development of kids - and I’m very excited to share this imagination pack with one of you this month! Good luck, and make sure to share your own recommendations for building imagination in the comments!
