The Storytelling Toolbox for Early Years Educators

Creativity and storytelling play a vital role in the holistic development of young learners. Through interactive stories, imaginative play, music, movement, drama, and other expressive arts, children develop language, imagination, empathy, confidence, and the ability to express themselves. When storytelling becomes an engaging and child-led experience, it creates meaningful opportunities for connection, communication, creativity, and learning in the early years.

This engaging and practical workshop, facilitated by Ms. Priyanka Babbar — Founder and Artistic Director of Small Tales Academy — will equip educators with simple and effective techniques to make storytelling interactive, engaging, and child-led. Educators will explore how stories can be meaningfully integrated into everyday classroom experiences to nurture language, imagination, empathy, and confidence, while gaining practical strategies and activities that can be immediately adapted for young learners.
