Free Storytelling Sessions at Eastland Melbourne Plus Giveaway


Children and books are such an important partnership. There is no better way to open your little one's mind to the wonders, power and possibilities of their developing imagination than through a book.

Eastland Shopping Centre is proud to announce its special new partnership with Eastern Regional Libraries, bringing the art of storytelling to your child and it's all for free. This special new activity hosted by Eastland and conducted by Eastern Regional Libraries, will be held every second and last Tuesday of each month.

During these sessions, your child will be invited to read books and listen to inspiring stories while developing their social skills in the process, through interaction with others.

"Storytelling is not just about telling a story. It's all about having the heart and passion to make stories interesting for the children and at the same time, instilling in young minds, important life lessons from the story. Eastland is excited to partner with the local community and hopes that parents will love this new activity."


 
Celeste enjoys reading the beautiful *'Sunshine and Snowballs' by Margaret Wise Brown.
 
The Storytelling fun begins at Eastland from November the 11th at 11am and can be found at the centre at the Playground on level 2, every second and last Tuesday of the month.

  7. Rosy's Red Balloon. It is a delightful story of a little bear that loses his balloon at the park. With rhyming words, colourful pictures and lots of animated words to describe sounds, my two girls are mesmerised. They know the pages by heart so there's no chance of speeding up the story and missing pages. (rm.newell@bigpond.com)

  10. My kids struggle to have favourites just like I do but this week they are both loving the not for parents travel book by lonely planet. Where is the green sheep or kisses for daddy are always fall backs for miss 2.

  11. My two year old loves numbers, letters,,alphabet books rather than stories, it drives me crazy, though I make up stories to go with them. I love Where is the Green Sheep, on the odd occasion that he lets me read it, as it has everything. My favourite is Where the Wild Things Are.

  20. My boys all love this book called "The cuddliest cuddle in the world", its about a little Leopard who misses his mummy when she is off hunting and all the jungle animals try to cheer him up with there hugs, the crocodile has snappy cuddles and the Hyena has licky cuddles etc... It's such a fun book because we enact the cuddles as we go and have lots of different sorts of cuddles that ultimately end up in lots of laughter.

  26. Suzanne Sims
    The Jolly Postman by Allan Ahlberg, Janet Ahlberg, Mikayla loves this book, she snuggles up on the couch under her blankie and can read it two or three times before she will put it down, she says it gives her warm and fuzzy feelings inside, what she loves most is taking out the letters to read them!

  27. We love Goodnight Sleep Tight by Mem Fox. It's a delightful book containing a number of nursery rhymes, which my son knows off by heart. Most of these also have actions to them, so as a young baby he loved them and continues to do so.
    There's also a repetitive part after each rhyme, "We love it, we love it" said Bonnie and Ben..., which again my son loves to join in.
