Storybox Playlist: Stories to Inspire Outdoor Play
Story and play are intertwined — one always inspires the other. When children fully play, stories can help to frame, inspire, and inform their experience. In this way, play is a form of learning. When we tell stories, the listener wishes to act out the content…. and play.
In The Storying Project podcast, David Sewell McCann was joined by Meghan Fitzgerald, co-founder of Tinkergarten. In her role working with children, Meghan understands the important role of play at a fundamental level. She applies this understanding to the work she does at Tinkergarten and to the way she moves through life.
This playlist is inspired by David and Meghan’s conversation. We hope that your children enjoy the stories — and that you have a chance to check out the podcast episode!
