Resources, Materials, and Digital Technologies

There are some materials to be used to make children play with the characters and dramatize the stories: felt boards, shadow puppets and story stones. In addition. Digital media that can be used to create voiceovers, animations or short movies include tablets, audio recorders, video recorders and stop-motion applications (e.g., Stop Motion Studio). They all facilitate the digital story telling and are capable of stimulating the imagination of the children. Creative materials allow creativity and self-expression in the form of dramatic questioning and role-playing that is open-ended (Isbell & Yoshizawa, 2016; Howard & Mayesky, 2022).
