putting yourself into stories.....

I have been a fan of jibjab from way back- some of you might be more familiar with the 'elf yourself' holiday ecards. I remember using this with a group of 4 year olds keen on dance genre and the experience of putting themselves in a dance sequence of differing genre not so easily found at kindergarten such as square dance, disco, and swing, was a great addition to the 'strings to our planning bow'. Now the founders of jib jab are parents and have started a storybots site where you can put children into stories etc. In my view this isn't useful unless the children are a little familiar with the story??? but another way for children to interact with literacy. take a peek at this.... I like stories!
