We love having items/toys in our home that promote retelling
of stories. Retelling is a great
way for children to make stories become their own stories. We like to tell the story initially,
let play times happen with the items, and then see if the stories will be
told. If they’re not, then we give
prompts. Usually, though, children
start retelling stories they’ve heard.
A Fisher Price set we’ve used for several years is the
Little People Thanksgiving Celebration.
It’s much like the Christmas set that we use to retell the Nativity story. This set comes with two
Native American figures and two Pilgrim figures along with a table, benches,
food (turkey, of course!), scenery, and a donkey with a wagon.
It’s so much fun to hear a child’s perspective on the First
Thanksgiving! Another fun way to
collect memories is to record your child retelling the story, especially
recording it as part of your Thanksgiving tradition. We hope you enjoy this set as much as we have and make your
own family memories with it!
