What happens in a
Magic Box session….?
Children guess what theme the story will be based on. They follow Lottie, as a character, into this themed adventure where they can role-play, move around the imaginary space - and sing songs!
Each session involves listening, speaking and spatial awareness, and helps children understand simple instructions in a structured, yet fluid, environment.
The age range included in each session - 18 months to 6 years - means children of different ages take away different experiences from the session. The younger ones enjoy the actions, copying, singing, pretending; the older ones enjoy these elements too, but also feel confident in contributing to the story.
Adults are always encouraged to join in with their children, giving their small ones confidence to explore the story - and a chance for everyone to have fun and 'pretend' together.
“We have been going to Magic Box for nearly 2.5 years and it is far and away our favourite child session to attend. We LOVE the stories, the songs, the adventures, the warm ups, the jokes, and of course the cake at the end.
Lottie is an incredibly gifted and patient performer and she guides her young storytellers with creativity, humour, and fun. I truly believe that regular trips to see what’s inside the Magic Box has helped to fuel my son’s imagination and his enthusiasm for make-believe and storytelling.
I don’t think there is another session like it – or anyone else who puts so much heart, soul, and energy into the sessions they deliver for their young audiences.”
