My six year old is forever asking us to make up bedtime stories for her. I don't know about you but this is something we find hard to do in our house. Maybe it's just lack of creativity on my part or maybe it's just down to tiredness and other daily pressures but I confess reading direct from a pre-written children's book is the way we go.
However if you are feeling creative or regularly make up stories for your kids and would like some new ideas here is a list from www.storybramble.com to give you some inspiration! There are 21 great ideas for story starters which may help take you and your child on a wonderful adventure:
Once upon a time there was a…..
A magical toy shop that knew exactly which toy was perfect for each child
A Pirate who was afraid of the water
A King and Queen who were trapped inside their enchanted castle
A troll who lived down a well
A girl who ate too much jelly
A dragon who liked lollypops too much
A baker who always burned his cakes
A girl who would only ever read books that were coloured red
A little star that wished he was bigger
A snail called Cedric who wanted to win a race
A bear who was scared of the dark
A wizard who lived inside a tree in a magical forest
A friendly lion with no friends
A rusty old car that nobody wanted, except for one little girl
A worm who wished he could fly
A boy with very big feet
A school for monsters
A very friendly postman who delivered letters in a very unfriendly town
An Elf who protected the forest
A witch called Griselda who wanted all the power in the world
A school where little boys and girls trained to be Knights
