Story Tree by Orange Moon THE STORY TREE Stories are told with children at the youngest ages and until the end of time. Nursery Rhymes are the beginning of our oral language experience and we share our world with excitement, song, puppets and props. Sitting under the story tree invites children of all ages to sit-a-spell and hear a yarn from Mother Nature. Mary Jo uses a tree prop to introduce stories from nature and to challenge the children to help write a tell-able tale. |
