Peek and Tell
Bring scenes to life with this imaginative and interactive learning tool! The story builder scene stand Peek and Tell invites children to place illustrated items into a sturdy wooden stand according to assignment cards or their own to create their own imaginative ideas. Each card shows a unique arrangement, encouraging young learners to match, mimic, and invent—transforming static objects into dynamic storytelling elements.
Children can follow visual cues to recreate a specific setup or go beyond the cards to create their own imaginative scenes, telling stories as they build. This activity not only builds spatial awareness and fine motor skills but also sparks rich language development and narrative thinking.
Perfect for early learners in classrooms, therapy settings, or at home, the wooden scene stand turns learning into hands-on play and storytelling into skill-building. Ages 3yrs+.
Key Educational Benefits:

- Fine Motor Development: Strengthens hand-eye coordination and precise hand movements as children pick up and place pieces in the stand. Develops manual dexterity through repeated manipulation of objects.
- Language & Vocabulary Building: Expands vocabulary with words related to position, objects, and actions. Encourages expressive language as children describe scenes and retell stories.
- Storytelling & Imaginative Play: Fosters creative thinking and narrative skills by allowing children to invent and tell their own stories. Enhances sequencing and logical thinking as they structure beginning-middle-end storylines.
- Cognitive Development: Develops pattern recognition, problem-solving, and memory recall when reproducing scenes from the assignment cards. Reinforces following multi-step directions.
- Social-Emotional Growth: Supports self-expression and emotional literacy through storytelling. Encourages cooperative play and communication when working with peers.
