My Story Time

My Story Time from Punflay is a great app for the holidays that allows kids to construct simple stories or messages using an assortment of pictures and words. Designed for children 6 years and older, it is the perfect way to motivate early readers to practice their reading and writing skills. And not to mention that My Story Time is also a fantastic way to encourage kids to explore their creative sides.

Begin creating a story by selecting three images from a stack of 3 cubes each displaying different pictures. You can rotate each cube to select your picture. Once you are done choosing your pictures, tap on the ‘Write’ tab. Each picture comes with its own set of words. Simply drag and drop the words on the lines below the picture to create your story. Once you are done with the story, you can either save it or email it to someone. Kids will love showing off their creation with family and friends!

Here is a sampling of some of the pictures that you’ll see in the app:

• Decorated Christmas tree
• Christmas wreath
• A warm and crackling fire
• Snow and lots of it
