We love our Story Box events full of storytelling, games and crafts, but since the Covid-19 restrictions were introduced in March we haven’t been able to host them in our favourite venues across the region.
So it’s been a good week for us as we launched The Story Box at Home for 4-11 year olds.
Families were able to pick up a free Creative Spaces Co. tote bag with a book for the whole family to enjoy plus an activity pack with all the things you’d expect from one of our events - crafts, bubbles and a sweet treat!
We gifted books and activity packs to 101 families working with The Positivitree at Bloom Building, Everyone’s Aigburth, Walton Vale Community Shop and The Drive Centre.
A really big thank you to Onward Homes, OrstedUK and Torus Foundation for helping us make it happen, as well as News From Nowhere who helped us get such a good deal on all those books!
You can now watch our Story Box picks on our facebook page and youtube channel featuring How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers, Look Up! By Nathan Bryon, Grandad's Island by Benji Davies and Ruby's Worry by Tom Percival all performed with The Bookworm Players.
It was lovely to meet so many families across Merseyside, we hope you’re enjoying your new books and have had lots of fun with your activity packs.
@createspacesco we had so much fun with our packs! We covered the house in homemade decorations and the children love their books, thank you! pic.twitter.com/MIIKCqqHgB
