My stories began when my daughter was two years old and I used them to explain tricky situations, help with bedtimes and to develop my children's emotional intelligence.
Our stories grew from the challenges we were facing at home; learning how to share, it's okay to lose, enjoying bath times and becoming resilient. As a mother, I found that it was the perfect way to reflect on the day and that my children were able to apply parts of the story to their lives - especially if they had discussed it with me and shared their own ideas!
Billy Bunny, our main character is a mixture of my sons Ben and Noah. He sometimes struggles with losing a game or gets grumpy if things don't go his way, but he also has a heart of gold, is a brilliant friend and is always ready to help someone in need. While Squirrel Lily, is very much my daughter's character, extremely chatty, kind, quick thinking and excitable. Together, they learn new things in the forest, help each other to grow and make plenty of new friends.
Many of the stories are inspired by real children and their experiences and most of the characters are based on children who come to my clubs. It's delightful seeing their faces light up when they are part of a story and to include their contributions.
All of the stories are designed to help children develop their emotional intelligence, while also learning about the natural world and having a giggle along the way. They happened by accident really. I'm just a mum who likes telling stories to my kids.
I hope your child enjoys the stories too - happy listening!
A childhood filled with imagination
Story Meadow sparks imagination and curiosity in children aged 2 - 11.
Storytelling combined with playing in nature creates a magical setting for children to develop their imaginations, gross and fine motor skills, cognitive development, emotional intelligence and weave in mindfulness practices. Story Meadow is a wonderful way to build a deep-rooted sense of wonder and wellbeing, which lasts much longer than the sessions themselves.
Your child can enjoy listening to stories on our podcast, come along to one of our sessions or holiday camps and even enjoy our storybook, 'Billy Bunny and the Woodpecker Nest'. There is so much to explore at Story Meadow!
'Story Meadow has opened up a whole world of play in our household. It's been really wonderful to see my daughter playing in this way again.' - Charlotte Oram, Parent
