A fun educational product Posted 8/7/2008 by Mella Jusseaume
I recently took my two children to the Boulder Museum of History, for a summer's day outing. The summer's almost over, and I'm still doing interesting things with them, while toning down the carnival/circus disney crazyness, and focusing on the educational/gearing up for back to school. The museum was great, but the part they loved best was the 'discovery room', and the metal circles on the walls, with the Story Maker words. They could've spent all day just there, so at home that night, I ordered this kit online. Sure enough, now that it's in, and on our walls on a metal magnetic board in the hallway, our hallway has become a fun place to play for them, my husband and I, and their friends.
Story Maker is Great! Posted 12/1/2008 by Renee N.
This product is great for my 1st grader that is learning to read. She is able to use the words to make her own stories that she can read. It is a great product to use on the fridge or on a metal pan in the car. I would highly recommend this product for any young reader.
Great motivator for story writing Posted 10/7/2009 by Jeanne Lenham
My child loves to read and can read just about anything even though he is only 5. He is also the first of my 4 children to really enjoy trying to write sentences. This is a great tool for him because it helps him to "write" without having to think about spelling, spacing and hand writing. Each type of phrase or word is color coded so he can learn what verb, adverb, adjective and pronoun phrases look like, and as a result, will learn how to be a better writer. Use an 8X8 metal baking pan and this makes a great car activity. It's all magnetic so there is nothing that falls to the floor of the van.

Great for encouraging kids to be creative and explore their own story-telling abilities. Lots of fun.
Great for fun, independent activity time! Posted 5/28/2009 - RELATIVE
I purchased the Story Maker as a gift for my great-niece who is 6 years old. She is an avid reader, likes to write (and tell) stories and she's always looking for something fun to do during her at-home activity time. What a great medium for fostering creative writing skills! Story Maker makes writing fun and flexible - it's easy to 'guide' corrections in sentence structure - no erasers allowed!
Story Maker Posted 12/3/2007 by Amy
I bought this to use with my 1st grader even though the age was recommended as older. I like the idea that parts of the sentence are there, as I do not think he would have the patience to create very developed sentences if they were written in one word increments. The pieces themselves are a bit smaller than I hoped, but the product is so useful and engaging for him that it is not a huge issue.
Review for Kids Story Maker Posted 6/14/2010 by Agata Skjold - EDUCATOR
As a teacher and a mother of three preschoolers I am absolutely in love with the Story Maker! What is more important , my kids love it! We live in Poland and so my bilinguall kids are surrounded by polish friends and family mostly. Finally they have toys they can relate to and learn from - in English! I truly believe it is the beginning of a beautiful friendship in between me and the Fat Brain Toys!
Excellent Item! Posted 9/19/2006 by Tracy
My 8 year old loves Kids Storymaker Magnetic Poetry. The words are broken down into colors which represent nouns, verbs, adjectives... Stories are being created daily!

My 8 year old son(s) immediately took to this toy. I also purchased the Magnetic Poetry Stand with Words. They combine the two to create both stories and poems.

Great toy. My kids 10 year old girl, 8 and 7 year old boy had great fun playing with this toy on Christmas morning. The made sentences together as they laughed out loud.

I think this is an excellent product in that it is easy to manipulate and challenges the creativity of children. I like the fact that it packages small and can be used during travel and that it's magnetized so pieces are not easily lost.
Great for My Classroom! Posted 9/24/2007 by Lindsey Thompson
I bought the Kids Story Maker for my 6th grade classroom, and my students love it! They make hundreds of goofy sentences, poems, and stories with it. Many stay after school in order to have time to write more with them. How many products actually have kids asking to stay after school?
Teacher Posted 2/14/2007 by Norma Harmtan
This product is terrific! My students enjoy creating sentences. With each part of the sentence color-coded, they learn the different parts of speech! It makes a fun, educational, quick, and inexpensive learning station! Just what every busy teacher needs!
Grest teacher's gift! Posted 12/23/2005 by Jenipher Sutherland
I purchased three of these to give to my children's classroom teachers and they have been a huge hit! My kids have reported that so many of their classmates have been clamoring to use them - and the teachers have told me how they have used them to get their student's creative writing "juices" flowing! I'm so pleased!

Gave it as a gift to a dad for his 6 and 8 year olds - the whole family loves it!! I love it too.

Great Product. My students will love to use it!
Lots of fun Posted 3/11/2005 by Renee Lewis-Trainham
I think this is a great product. My 13 year old and 3 year old as well as myself have had lots of fun making up silly stories! I think it would be nice if they were a bit larger though - easier for a 3 year olds fingers to handle and easier for a tired old mom's eyes to read! Thanks for all the fun! We will be ordering more soon!
Promotes Language Skills Posted 5/24/2007 by Sandy
This is a very imaginative toy that is good for kids with strong language skills. A child can challenge him/herself while having fun. Educational toy that makes a nice gift.
A Great Classroom Activity Posted 4/10/2007 by Megan Wise - TEACHER
My students have really enjoyed creating stories with this Magnetic Poetry Kit! They are getting very creative and strengthening their teamwork skills. I really enjoy reading what they write!
Special Education and Literacy Teacher Posted 8/20/2006 by Pat Eaton-Foeppel - TEACHER
Wonderful product. I am currently using it to help students build writing skills and expand word choice.
Great Teaching Toy! Posted 1/6/2006 by Dennis Griffiths
