A pilot project looking at playful ways to explore language and support language development with children aged 2-3 using stories and storytelling.
Having worked on the Creative Skills Programme, Storyteller Andy Cannon was inspired to work with Early Years practitioners striving to ensure their nurseries were becoming more creative environments. Following on from that, Andy delivered a pilot project looking at playful ways to explore language and support language development with children aged 2-3 using stories and storytelling.
The project took place in two nursery settings in Dundee: Den’s Road Nursery and St Pius Nursery.
