Using a storytelling apron is a marvelous tool for holding the attention and concentration of your audience. Curiosity and suspense are heightened as the listener anticipates the revealing of objects hidden in the apron pockets. Props and visuals are readily available and easily pulled out to support your story. This week I found a set of family finger puppets on sale at Amazon for $2.49 and a set of animal finger puppets for $1.99. I have made some aprons and am offering them for $25.00 which includes shipping. Email me at sonlight52@yahoo.com if you are interested in purchasing a storytelling apron.
Pockets are also good for: holding magic markers for writing on boards, objects like a watch or other items that represent a story that you are telling, holding pieces for a flannel graph story, small handouts for your audience such as stickers and other manipulatives, small items for guessing games,and much, much more!
