Story Suitcase Workshop

Inside every suitcase lies a world of wonder. A place where stories come alive, imagination takes flight, and children’s curiosity leads the way.

Together, we’ll explore how the Story Suitcase can become a powerful learning tool that nurtures language development, creative thinking, social connection, and emotional expression.

We’ll discuss how stories can unfold through open-ended materials, objects of meaning, and children’s own ideas. Turning everyday items into storytelling treasures.

You’ll discover how the Story Suitcase can:

• Spark rich conversations and imaginative play
• Encourage literacy and early communication skills
• Support children in exploring identity, belonging, and emotions
• Build connections between home and early learning environments
• Invite collaborative storytelling and shared wonder

During this hands-on session, educators will design and create their own 'Mini Story Suitcase'. This is a portable world of imagination to take back to your service. Your 'Mini Suitcase' will inspire your team, ignite children’s creativity, and open new doors to storytelling adventures in your learning environment.

Due to taking home a physical product the cost of this workshop is $149 per educator, but you won't be leaving empty handed. You will have your 'Mini Suitcase' and some magical treasures to get you started on your story-telling journey.

Tickets to this workshop will stop 3 weeks prior, so we can ensure we have a collection of unique, magical and curious treasures for each educator. So please ensure you get in early and secure your ticket!

Please Note: In this workshop educators will make their own ‘Mini Suitcase’ to bring back to their service. For training purposes during the workshop and for demonstration in this poster, a larger story suitcase is shown.
