Stickers for Stories

It's been a while since I last posted anything. Holidays - baaah! Isadora just turned three, so we had a big party for her and she got tons of Hello Kitty stuff (she just adores it all).
One of the the presents she got was a big bag of stickers and some re-usable stickers with scenes to put them on. So much fun! She has been really big into this: "Mom, tell me a story about these..." (She points to the unicorn and the fairy). This was fun for a while until I just plain ran out of stories. So a while back the conversation shifted..

Isadora: Mom, tell me a story
Me: Who are the characters? (Isadora gives me a blank stare) Who is the story about?
Isadora: Kitty and doggy...and frog
Me: What's the problem?
Isadora: Um, the dog steps on the kitty all the time
Me: Okay... (I go on to create some weird story about her plot)

So here is the literacy connection...Isadora is learning about characters, setting, and plot. These are the building blocks of crafting a fiction story. This will also aid in her comprehension of reading stories as she begins to recognize the story structure and will become more receptive to literary elements.
Isadora has "quiet time" in her room (since she kicked her naps to the curb several months back) and I can hear her talking away, creating her own stories. By the way, that example I wrote about - the dog stepping on the kitty all the time - that was a real plot she came up with. Weirdest story ever!
