Story telling is an art that has mental, social and educational benefits on children. People of all ages love stories. Children are great fans of stories and love to listen to them. Storytelling literally means reading out stories to them or just telling a story from the memory to them. It is becoming a lost art today as many parents find very little time to spend with kids as the hustle and bustle of life demands them to reserve more time for the needs of life. But any parent can preserve few stories for kids and spend a bit of time for them to tell them stories.

- Enhances listening skills of children
- Enriches critical thinking and creative thinking skills
- Great bonding activity for parents and children
