Hello! Today I bring you a little “How to” that is very close to my heart: Story Cubes!? Can I do a bit of rambling first and then tell you how to make them? Pretty please!
As you know I do weekly book reviews on books that we are currently reading and adore. Books are fabulous for bonding. Books are fabulous for cuddling. Books are fabulous for development (imagination, vocabulary etc etc). We love books. No doubt about it! Which is why I regularly bombard you with our book choice.!
A little bit about Story Telling
However, have you ever thought about the power of Story Telling? Storytelling has enormous benefits shared with reading, but I believe takes these to another level:
RED TED ART TV1) Bonding
2) Bedtime wind down
3) Creative development
4) Learning the spoken word/ improved communication
5) Decision making skills & learning from mistakes
6) Reworking the day and feelings/ understanding your child better
7) Introducing family values and ideas
8- All of these have long term impact and even sets your child up with better “business skills” (believe it or not!)
Story telling is a two way process, bringing you closer together. Children are amazing natural storytellers and we have a wonderful opportunity to nurture this. Enough from me, I could write a whole essay!
Go visit Chris and her family at Thinly Spread and read her post “There is Nothing Better Than A Good Story” for more!
Story Cubes
Story telling is hard when you are out of practice. So I made some story cubes that I saw somewhere on my blog hop travels to help me along the way (if you are said blog, please get in touch, so I can link up with you). They are so easy to use that I thought you may like to hear about them too. Basically, you “throw” them and then tell a story using all the images on the cubes. You can take turns developing the story, getting your child to say the next part of the story. You can make it harder by following a certain order. You can make it longer or shorter. You can rethrow your dice. Your choice! There are plenty of paper versions around, but I love these wooden cubes. They are tactile and they fit in a neat little bag and Red Ted loves playing with his! (you can of course make them out of paper and your kids can help colour things in and draw the images, but they won’t last “forever”. Here is a paper cube template. It does make for a nice rainy day activity “together”)
Materials: 6-8 25-30mm wooden cubes (available in craft stores like this one), Varnish, Paintbrush, Fine Marker Pen (approx. 0.7 nib), Acrylic Paint (optional if you want “colour” options).
1) Varnish the cube (this will stop the pen running into the grain) and let dry on a cookie rack. I touched up a couple of sides with a second coat, but strictly speaking one should do the trick!
2) Decide on some prompts: I found it useful to think of all the drawings first and to practice drawing a couple. Remember, it does not have to be an artwork your children will love whatever you draw. When I ran out of ideas (I did ours whilst my children were sleeping), I enrolled the help of my eldest for ideas of what to draw on the remaining cubes! It is useful to balance animals, with food/ drink, with colours (if you want to have some), with objects, with methods of transport – maybe have one of each per cube? Include some favourite things, for us this was a bunny and a train!
3) Draw your prompts!
Finished!
I LOVE giving these as gifts and they have been very well received and well enjoyed! Contact me through the comments and I can send you a PDF with some drawing ideas (and why not subscribe to my blog as a “Thank You”?).

I read it first in the London Mums magazine a couple of weeks ago and thought it was an absolutely fantastic idea. Thank you for another inspirational tutorial. x
The Moiderer 🙂 we love them too… Red Ted also likes playing with them and stacking them!
Lix – thank you – your tweet reminded me, that I was now able to post them on Red Ted Art! x
These are great! And thank you for the mention, glad to help out!!! X
Lovely post Maggy! Story telling has been a huge part of our lives and my children are always complimented on their wide vocabulary as a result. The cubes you sent were the beginning of many long tales during our week away and having read this post I am going to get some more and get the children to make their own so we can build up a collection! I’ll post the results! Thank you again lovely lady.xxx
Thanks for a fab tutorial. I was going to buy some story cubes for my girls for Christmas but now I’ve seen this I am going to make some instead 🙂 xx
Chris & Amy: Hooray! LOVE it when people get Crafty!!! Yay!! Chris, also love your idea of doing themed sets! Wonderful!
What a wonderful idea! I’d love you to send me your drawing ideas :)Thanks for the great tutorial!
Xinme – have send you an email!
They are wonderful! I am all inspired now that I might have to make some at the weekend…well I’ll try:)
What a fab idea. Thanks x
Maria – oh you must!! And then let me see yours!
These are so wonderful! Thank you for the fab tutorial. I will definitely enjoy making these with my children and such a lovely gift idea too.
I love it, Liz was right! An absolutely brilliant idea, would love to make these. I’m trying to do as many homemade things for Christmas as I can this year.
Great blog!
Amanda x
I’d love to have the PDF. These are so cute and would make wonderful gifts.
This is a fabulous idea! I would love the template please!
Thank you!
Hi, these are amazingly wonderful. I would love to feature this tutorial on my blog!
I found your blog through Motivate Me Mondays. I’ve never seen or heard of story cubes before. Brilliant idea and very nicely done! I think it’s so important to foster our children’s creativity and imagination.
Thanks for sharing, I’m sure to make story cubes for my kids, too!
texttussi
A lovely idea. Such a nice way to tell stories to your kiddies.
They look great too. Steve 🙂
I love these, this is such a fantastic idea. Would love to get Pix more involved with stories and the actual storytelling process, especially since the baby has come along bedtime stories are ‘our’ thing and very precious. Might do some with her friends on…I love the idea of giving them as gifts too! I’m not nearly as crafty as you so am not sure how mine will come out but will send you a pic if they’re not too embarrassing!!
This idea is just right on the money. I have some younger grandchildren & this is now on my “to do” list. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
I’ve never heard of story cubes before but what a great idea! Hmmnn, gotta visit a craft store soon!
I’ve been meaning to make some of these for ages – could you please send me your pdf?
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I featured this over at Crafts & Sutch today! Please stop by to take a peek and grab a Sutch an Inspiration button! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!
Erin 🙂
Maryanne – Done!
Erin – oooh! THANK YOU! Will come and visit ASAP!
If you could send your samples to get my creative juices started that would be great.
Thanks a lot
Tina
That is awesome! I would love for you to come link up at my Strut Your Stuff Linky Party!
http://danajeanward.blogspot.com/2010/11/strut-your-stuff-party.html
I designed a simple folding paper storycube format some years ago – no glueing required (which we also manufacture and sell in packs). Over the years we’ve used them in lots of projects, from storytelling workshops with adults and children to creative commissions by artists – there’s over 180 that can be freely downloaded and printed out here : http://diffusion.org.uk/?cat=9
Last year Proboscis (the non-profit arts org I run) launched a free website, http://bookleteer.com, where you can upload your own images into our StoryCube template and print them out at home. We can also print & die-cut them professionally on card in short runs at low cost. We’re welcoming anyone to try it out as a simple way of making and sharing your own StoryCubes (you can also make downloadable books in our Diffusion eBook format with it).
Love those blocks!!!!!! Great idea!!! Thanks so much for linking this up!!!!!
I would love to get your pdf – this will be another fabulous fun gift for my kids!
I’d love the PDF, too. Thanks! (I subscribe to your blog, by the way. You have great ideas, and I am glad you’re sharing them!)
These are so lovely! I would love to make a set for my daughter for christmas and would really like the pdf with the picture ideas please.
This would be great for my husband who finds it hard to get our daughter to tell a story. Could you send me the PDF?
What a brilliant idea! I love reading and I’m hoping to pass my love of reading on to my daughter – she’s only 14 months but already enjoys story time. I think I might have to make these for her.
This is such a great idea! I wish I had some for my kids. I am highlighitng this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. Grab my “featured” button.
These are perfect for Christmas gifts!!! Thank you!!
Such a wonderful idea! I would love a copy of the PDF. I want to make a couple of sets for gifts for Christmas this year.
I am loving this idea!
What a wonderful gift that even children can make for others.
Thank you!
I would LOVE to receive a PDF of image ideas.
Aubry
This is such a great idea. I would love the picture templates. Thanks for sharing.
Love them! On my project list for sure! B’s bedtime normally consists of one book, then a story from Daddy. These would be great for those feeling not-so-creative nights… Thanks for linking up at Feed Me Books Friday!
Thanks for taking the time to link up… I am so happy you stop by because you always have great craft ideas.. Have a great weekend..
Story Cubes, What a great idea.
Thank you all for your fabulously kind comments!! Have forwarded PDFs to those who requested them (please tell me if you haven’t received it and I will resend). We have been celebrating a 1st Birthday at Red Ted HQ so haven’t had time to reply to all you comments individually!!
I’d love to have the PDF. What a great idea. I’m excited to make and tell stories with my kids. Thanks for sharing.
These are awesome Maggy! I love them! What a fantastic idea! You could sell them. I loved story cubes when I was growing up 🙂
Aaaah thank you Luschka!! Have had a couple of people ask if I sell them… but they are not “perfect” enough 🙁 they will have to remain gifts!!! xx
What a great idea – I’d never heard of story cubes until a few minutes ago. I was stuck for ideas for a little friend for Christmas…now I know just what her and her Mummy would appreciate (they don’t do noisy toys and luurrrve stories!). So, thanks for that. Please would you e-mail me your images for a little pictorial inspiration. Thanks a bunch 🙂
This is a fantastic idea and will be perfect for my 5 year old Neice for Christmas – Thanks so much for shring and I would love your ideas list :0) I am indeed following you too x J x
This is wonderful! I would love to get the PDF with drawing ideas, please.
Thank you.
I just happened to come across your blog while surfing and its an absolutely fab idea and I would love it if you could share the picture templates with me. Thanks a ton for sharing.
Just made these for my daughter. I can’t draw, so I printed and then modge podged them on. She loves them. See them here: http://confessionsofadiabeticbaker.blogspot.com/2010/11/on-roll-story-cubes.html
Christine
You are right. Storytelling can be so hard when you are out of practice. These will be great. Plus, I have boys. Having something to roll/throw ads to the excitement. We always need something to manipulate to keep them engaged!
Oooh I love these…I am going to make a set for Emily and her friends for Christmas! I would love the PDF for some ideas :0)
I would love a copy of your PDF!
I love this idea! I use lots of storytelling, along with movement in my children’s yoga classes. Many of the children I work with have autism or other sensory processing challenges so this is a perfect way to make a visual prompt that will turn the process into a game! I absolutely love the simplicity and the versitility of these blocks! Thank you so much for your fantastic blog articles!
These are wonderful! I would love to make them for my grandchildren and teacher daughter-in-law. Could you send me the PDF? I also subscribed to your blog! Thanks so much!
Great idea!!! I can’t wait to make some for my little ones.
Oh, I would LOVE the PDF. I’ve had these on my to-do list for awhile now too. Thanks! And I’m subscribing now. 🙂
This is such an incredible idea! Thanks so much for passing it along.
I would love your PDF please
WOW! This is such a great idea. We are always making up stories, but this would be a great tactile way to do it.
I found this post via Amy Lane’s blog, as I commented on her post, I saw Story cubes on tv a while ago and thought my kids would love them but I haven’t seen them in the shops. Never crossed my mind to make them, these look fantastic!
Ah! That is so lovely! Do hope you get to make some!!
I am making several sets of these for kids and adults in the family. I can’t draw well so I am printing up small pictures and Modge-Podging them onto the blocks. I LOVE this idea. Thank you so much!
Hey there, great idea could you send me the pdf. I’m a speech language pathologist and think this would be a wonderful gift to make my patients.
TY
Thank you for such a great idea. My toddler will love these. May even get her involved in the process of making them as she loves painting. Thank you.
I just found your blog, I had never heard of story cubes before – they are so neat! Could you send me the PDF, I think my two girls would love me to make them a set.
Just stumbled across your blog and am very impressed as I’m always looking for new activities to do with my daughter, will be subscribing after I’ve finished this comment 🙂 I love the idea of the story cubes – what a great way to aid a child’s development. I’m going to make some of these for my daughter to use in her daily ‘special time’ that we have together. Please could I have a copy of the pdf for drawing ideas. I’m going to make a special bag to keep them in too 🙂 x
Hello, I have been meaning to make these but just never got round to it. Now i have no excuse with instructions and a PDF (please)! Thanks Sheetal
Fantastic resource and so creative!Please could you send me the pdf. Would be greatly appreciated!:)
Lovely, lovely, lovely. I’ve been story telling with the special needs children I teach for several years and we’ve always used a selection of cards to get us started, but I think that everyone would prefer these and I can already see a topic of making our own sets. Can I have the pdf please. Thanks for a great idea.
Hurray! Great idea ~ I can’t wait to get started on these!
Hi there, these story cubes look just wonderful – thanks for the inspiration and tutorial – you have a wonderful blog by the way!
Please could I have a copy of the PDF for inspiration?
These look fantastic my nephew has autism and i think these would help him as he is really struggling at the moment and the usual prompts on slips of paper dont hold his interest. he is also struggling with associating words with pictures im guessing you could put short word onto the cubes as well as pictures. Im not the slightest bit artistic are your really sure you dont want to start selling the cubes !
can i have a copy of the PDF please.
thank you
Please provide me with the pdf – great idea, love it!
Love the story cubes! Would appreciate if you could send me the picture pattern ideas!
Hi! Love, love, love the idea of using the story cubes. I would love a pdf.
PDFs sent! So glad you both like the story cubes 🙂
Hi, surfing from Italy.
Really nice work, really a fantastic idea for my little niece!!!!
I’d like to have the PDF with the images.
Thanks for your beautifull and cheap educational idea.
Cheers.
Dan
Please could send me the PDF’s for the Story Cube. I think they are great.
Thanks
God Bless
Hi,
Could you please send me the pdf? I am in the process of drawing on flat pebbles (rather than cubes) and have run out of ideas! Would love to see what you thought up.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oooh the stones sound lovely!! Have sent you the pdf – would LOVE to see your stones when you are done!
Love these! Did a set of 6 for my daughter, and for my boyfriend’s son, and am going to get some more cubes to add more pictures to the collection. Have even made a little drawstring bag out of an old baby T-shirt to keep them in! Daughter loves them and is coming up with great stories!
these look fab, will be making these with mine 🙂
This is a great idea. Can I get a copy of your pdf file for ideas to get me rolling.
Thanks,
Heidi

I am currently having PC issues, but will send these across as soon as possible! Thank you!
Love it, thank you so much
My pleasure 🙂
would love the pdf you mentioned. i also thought this would be a great idea to put \”reminders\” from a predetermined story to help kids tell.
These are completely adorable. You were so right to tell us all a bit about how you use them. I have blocks but I am drawing-challenged. I would so appreciate your PDF. I am hoping it will be a jump-start. Thank you so much.
I just found your post on the story cubes via Pinterest. This is a great idea! May I please have your PDF? Thank you!
Found this on Pinterest and what a marvelous idea! Would love the PDF if you still gave it!
These are lovely, will have to remember this for when my son is slightly older 🙂
Hi, I have seen these before on a blog called \’a little bit of this and a little bit of that\’ if maybe that was where you saw them? I know how easy it is to lose track of where you saw things pre-pinterest! I\’d love your PDF though if you have it still? Thanks, Jenni x
I would love the pdf of your prompts for the story cubes.I would like to make these for my grandchild.
Thankyou
These are awesome! I am not good at telling stories without some prompts, so this could help me too. I have 3 kids ages 6 and under who would love these. Please send me the PDF. Thanks!
Done!
Love this! Going on family vacation this summer with our children and grandchildren — think this will be a fun game night for us! Will appreciate having the pdf to get me going! Thanks so much!

Oh my!!!! I was looking for a cheap seller of Rory’s Story Cubes and… You had the greatest idea! Why not involve my child in building our own cubes?!! Much more cheaper and fun! I don’t know if I’ll find some shop here in Italy where they sell wooden cubes to draw upon… but I’ll thank you forever if you could send me the pdf template all the same.
Hello! Please do send me the pdf file! I bought a big bag of wooden cubes at a local thrift store years ago (where clothes are a dollar a pound and toys are 50cents a pound!) thinking “These should be useful for something someday!” And now I know what! Thanks so much!
done!

Love it! My child’s teacher recommended story cubes to me today. I looked them up and found your blog! I love your little pictures and would very much love the PDF of your drawings, too, if you don’t mind. Thanks very much for sharing this beautiful idea! Can’t wait to make some for my own children, and some as gifts!
hello, I’d love that pdf, if you still have it, and any other ideas you might have. I’ll be making a set of these for my nephew pretty soon!

Looks fab, will have to make 2 sets, 1 new local nephew and 2 not so local nieces. Yes please on templates. Will post photos when made and tag you.
Thanks, I work with children and love this idea. Please send me the PDF. Thanks
What a fantastic idea! I’d love if you could share your drawings!
My son has a tough time with story telling. This visual and hands on approach might make it a little more enjoyable. Would you mind sharing some of your ideas with me? Thank you!
Wonderful, I do hope it helps him! And remember, you can start it very simply, by just putting together basic sentences and take it from there. One baby step at a time!
Thank you for the tutorial. My little girl has all of a sudden got really in to story telling and keeps asking ‘make a story mummy’. I was going to get her some story stones for her birthday but I fancy making these a whole lot more. Would love a copy of your prompts.
Could I have a PDF of the pics you used please fir the story blocks
Done!
I would love to have the PDF of your drawing ideas please to make some story cubes for my grandsons.
Thank you.
I’d be grateful to have the drawing ideas PDF by email please.

I’d love it if you could send me the PDF of image ideas, I’m so not creative! I’m hoping to make these soon, for Christmas, for my husband and daughter. Thank you!
I’d be happy to share all the ideas I just came up with, if there’s a way to post it or if the blog author sends me her email? I decided to do an animal cube (all 6 sides have animals), a feelings cube, a character cube, etc, so that if we roll all of them there is a variety of topics to choose from. Cool!!
