A Parent’s Guide to Oral Storytelling with Classic Tales for Early Childhood

Bedtime Storytelling by Beatrys Lockie is an encouraging storytelling book for parents that shows how oral storytelling can become a natural, confidence-building part of family life—no book in hand required.

When stories are told from memory, the storyteller is free to personalize the tale, gesture, use simple props, or offer a reassuring hug or playful tickle. Most importantly, oral storytelling allows for eye contact, deepening the connection between adult and child while making it easier to sense a child’s attention, mood, and engagement. This book gently guides parents into that living exchange, offering practical advice on becoming a confident storyteller and establishing a warm bedtime rhythm.

The opening section, Telling Stories to Children, explores why storytelling matters and how to begin, including guidance on creating atmosphere, setting a mood, and finding one’s own storytelling voice. The remainder of the book is thoughtfully organized by developmental stage, with stories for ages three to four, five to six, and six to seven. Each tale is easy to remember, adapt, and enrich, making the collection especially supportive for parents new to oral storytelling.

Many of the stories are well-loved classics regularly told in Waldorf kindergartens and early childhood classrooms, featuring magical beings, animals, and scenes from everyday life that speak directly to young children’s imaginations.

Very nice
Color: White & Black, Size: 51"x67", Color: White & Black, Size: 51"x67"
Great quality. It is a very soft, thick throw to snuggle right up into. Looks so good drapped over my recliner that I bought a second one. Black and white throw pictured and folded in half. I am very pleased.

Love it! So soft and pretty. A little small for my queen sized bed, I would size up. But beautiful and warm, feels high quality. No shedding.

DO NOT PUT IN DRYER
Color: Cream&grey, Size: 60"x80"
Very soft, very comfortable, very warm, sheds a lot at first. 9/10 for initial impression. So how do you wash it? The instructions say take it to a professional dry cleaner which costs more than the blanket, so that option is out. I've been looking everywhere and everyone says something different, I've ruined two blankets trying to figure it out how to clean them. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR DRYER WITH HEAT, EVER, PERIOD. I ruined my second blanket by putting it in the dryer for just 7 minutes on 'delicate' heat, just don't do it. Even using no heat in the dryer will cause the material to become slightly more abrasive after each cycle. MACHINELESS AIR DRY ONLY. The faux fur has an insanely low fraying point and even getting it moderately warm causes it to become abrasive and have a harsh tangled 'dog blanket' feel to it that is permanent. COLD WASH ONLY ON DELICATE. This seems to have little to no effect on the quality of the blanket. Use high quality detergent with little to no additives for delicates and a laundry bag. Fabric softeners are a big NO, they will shorten the life of your blanket substantially. For colors, The Cream and Grey and Yellow and Grey are very nice and picture accurate. The Camal was far darker than the images would have you believe and it has a greenish copper tint to it. The Ivory looks awful with how they brushed the tips.

My Favorite Blanky
Color: Yellow&grey, Size: 60"x80", Color: Yellow&grey, Size: 60"x80"
The color of the yellow/grey is exceptional. The blending and pattern of the two colors makes for a very realistic looking pelt and the colors go with an extensive variety of other colors you may have in your home. In a couple of spots you could see little clumps where the fur was sticking out further than the rest, almost like it was trying to shed, but I just took scissors and cut the little tuffs to be even with the rest of the fur. Never once has it actually shed. It holds smells really well so washing it on a delicate cycle with those scent booster beads and then putting it in the dryer on the Air Dry setting creates this magical scent that fills an entire room. I have issues with a lot of textures so I’m very particular about my fabrics and furs and I can tell you this blanket feels like pure bliss and does not give me sensory overload or an icky feeling. It’s a great weight as well, id say it’s a medium-heavy blanket. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I have had this blanket for about a year now and the quality is definitely worth it. It’s held up against 3 big dogs, my toddler, and my newborn and it still looks like it just got delivered to me. Personally I thought the blanket was going to be bigger, but I am still content with the size. it’s gone from my couch to my bed and fits both perfectly. I love it on both. I feel that for the price the blanket could have been bigger but other than that, it was worth the money.
