The Stomping Ground is a summer camp in New York that's based on the idea that kids are creative, trustworthy, and inherently good. Grounded in the principles of unschooling, kids at the Stomping Ground are free to choose from a wide variety of engaging options, or to spend their days doing what they want with whom they want, as long as they aren't harming anybody else.

Twelve Little Tales is a tool for storytelling. Each month Marna creates a Tale and 12 prompt cards, including art from original watercolors, that bring you to a place from where you will begin your storytelling adventure. Each Tale is a whole story within itself and much of the time is related to the current season but always related to the magic of nature, childhood and the treasures to be found in this big wide world. Read the starter Tale and then choose one of the 12 prompt cards to continue from. The Tales become what you make of them. You may choose to use your Tales to inspire some giggles or as a way to help your child through a struggle, as a bedtime ritual or as anytime fun. However you work with the Tales it will be a moment taken to create something with your littles, and any moment doing that is a moment well spent. Twelve Little Tales is now translated into three languages - French, Spanish and Dutch. You may choose to experience your Tale in the mail, printed on recycled card stock and including postcards and stickers or you may choose the digital version or a hybrid of the two.
Happy Storytelling!

I'm so pleased to have them joining us this month as a Sponsor, along with our ongoing Sponsors in the sidebar. The support of these fellow small businesses helps me to carve out the time I love to dedicate to this space, and I'm honored they choose to spend their resources here. All of the sponsors I feature are carefully-selected and businesses that I am proud to support, and in most cases, am a customer of myself! I encourage you to check out their offerings in the coming weeks and months, visit their websites to learn about the inspirational businesses they all are. And if you think Sponsorship is something you might be interested in for your own ventures, please be in touch!
