The use of 3-dimensional props representing the characters, settings and activities in stories transforms story time from a “listening” experience into one that is visual, tactile and interactive.  This workshop will focus on the selection and use of realistic and abstract props, then building, orchestrating, and supporting interactive story experiences.
