March 7, 2016 at 1:46 amThank you for these! My 6 year old isn’t quite ready to write the stories on her own, but I think she will love creating her own fairy tale versions verbally. She has a sleepover this weekend, and I plan to give the girls the prompts as a fun sleepover activity. It will be interesting to see what they come up with and if they choose to create different stories or work together!
