Where’s admin dynamo Laney gone?
Just working from the farm with her new Tales Toolkit assistant - slow, steady & full of moral support!

But he’s missing one thing… a name!

The baseline’s done - but the story’s just beginning!
Now’s the time to build on what you’ve learned through play, storytelling and communication-rich experiences.
It’s not just about the data - it’s about every child’s individual story.

Look at this inspiring #TalesToolkit setup! Children can independently choose characters, settings, problems, and solutions to build their very own stories. A beautiful invitation to ignite creativity, language, and a love of storytelling.

We love using recycled materials for storytelling – junk modelling becomes the perfect springboard for tales about dragons, deep-sea dives, or flying houses!

What recycled item sparked the last story in your setting?
