I bought these for my three grandchildren who are preschoolers. At first they saw them for the fun of rolling the dice. When the adults then made up the stories according to the images on the dice, the children loved the sense of waiting for the next bit of the story. That must be a good exercise for all children to learn in a fun environment! There was an obvious moment when their interest was expended, but a great game that can be re-used countless times as the girls grow older.
