Introduction

A little bit about Tales Toolkit...

“Everyone has a story ”

Kate Shelley, CEO and founder of Tales Toolkit.

Tales Toolkit believe that the littlest of people have the biggest potential, and with this comes innovative creations to inspire imagination in early years learning. By encouraging confidence in the voices of children through storytelling, we can motivate bold personalities and exciting learning opportunities. We take into consideration individual personalities and so our resources can be tailored depending on the ability of each child, equipping them with exactly what they need to feel self-assured in their storytelling.

Making sure children are heard and understood is of crucial importance in early years education, which is why Tales Toolkit strives to encourage children to find their own voices and passions to help develop their personalities. Incorporating phonics, maths and outdoor play widens the abilities of Tales Toolkit and furthers the learning of young children plus, as a fairly new company, we are still learning too and implementing fresh ideas all the time! 

The main goal is to help early years education be as productive as it can be and release the huge potential that children have!!
