Enhancing the telling of a tale with props has long been part of the storyteller's craft, and Magnetale aims to take this a stage further with its range of magnetic characters and words. It has two story packs - Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Billy Goats Gruff, and each contains hand-crafted, individualistic characters which were originally painted in water-colours. The makers have taken into consideration race, gender, class and disability in their designs. The packs contain 20 to 22 figures and 32 to 69 relevant word pieces, all of which are large enough to be easily handled and seen, are wipe-clean and have extra-durable magnets attached to their backs. Suitable for two- year-olds and upwards, priced 39.95 per pack from Geometrix.
