A story box is a bit of a dream and imagination in your child's life. A story box has many benefits and many strengths. For you, we have studied all the benefits provided by these boxes but also provided an update on the editorial's favorite story boxes.
A story box, what is it?
It is a case that can take different forms. Most often without a screen, this box contains pre-recorded stories or stories to be composed so that the child can listen to tales or stories without relying on still or moving images … thus making his imagination run wild.
Some also have an educational side since they allow you to learn about musical notes or letters for example.
Some still have jacks so that the child can listen to his stories through headphones without disturbing his older sister who is doing her homework or her little brother sleeping.
What are the advantages of a story box?
The story box is most often made to be handled by the child alone. Intuitive, she promotes autonomy.
On the motor side too, we can attribute certain benefits to them: motor skills fine to turn on, off, turn up, turn down the sound or change the story.
But that's not all, the story box also has a number of advantages in terms of cognitive development of the child:
Listening to stories allows the child to develop your imagination. Cradled by words, he makes his imagination work. They are also concentration aids who improve memorization skills, and allow a vocabulary and language development.
This type of object also helps relax and to calm anxiety.
We can say that the story box has many benefits for the child. Unisex, it's a perfect gift for a girl or a boy.
When and where to use a story box?
The story box can be used by children in many cases, whether the evening, after reading the book, it's a little extra before falling asleep to promote pretty dreams. It also has a utility The morning until it's time to get up for the early risers.
At home, she will be perfect for having fun with her siblings, her friends, her cousins.
By car it will be useful to pass the time when the journey is a bit long. This is even more valid when you have children who are prone to motion sickness and therefore cannot read or watch little cartoons.
For calm times, for a child who no longer takes a nap but who is asked to take a quiet time in his room for example. He will be able to look at books, dream, but also use his story box to listen, create or learn.
In the waiting room from the pediatrician, grandma's, on the train or on the plane (especially for story boxes with helmets). In short, the opportunities to use it are almost endless.

The principle : The marvelous storyteller is an object to shake to listen to stories. A very soft cube that must be manipulated to make it work: no buttons, it is by shaking it that it is turned on, by tapping it that it is launched, that it is stopped or that we listen to a story again and by turning it we manage the sound.
When the child places the cube on a flat surface, a story is automatically started on the upper face (since each face is equivalent to a type of content). Magical !
