Hey there, lovely folks!  I'm Beth, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the wonderful world of creative writing with Magical Story Jars.  Let me give you a glimpse into my journey and what makes my Magical Story Jars so very special.

I'm a proud mum to two incredible children and one of our favourite things to do together is dream up imaginary adventures that make us wide eyed and giggly!  In fact, it was our family's love for stories that sparked the idea for Magical Story Jars.

As the creator and founder of Magical Story Jars, I’ve drawn upon my own experience as a mum and used it to pour an immense amount of passion and energy into my small business, which has won hearts, minds and awards alike.  Each jar contains a collection of story ingredients, including the all-important ‘magic dust’, to bring the stories to life, along with diverse story characters, exciting settings and problematic plots.  All of these were designed with input from children, teachers and families with the purpose of igniting the imaginations of young story makers across the kingdom.

Over the past six years, I've helped thousands of children unleash their inner writers at museums, festivals, events and schools. Watching their faces light up as they become absorbed in writing their stories using Magical Story Jars fills me with sheer joy.

I love creating bespoke stories for my Magical Story Jars customers, tailoring each adventure to their unique purpose and interests.  To me, continual learning is key, which is why I've enjoyed taking courses on creative writing, oral story making and writing books for children.  

I've been a judge for the BBC 500 Words story writing competition numerous times.  It's been a privilege diving into the imaginative worlds created by young writers and witnessing their amazing imaginations firsthand.  I've also had the opportunity to talk about story making on BBC Radio Lancashire and I’ve had numerous articles published in the press, including Juno magazine, Primary Times, Junior magazine and Lancashire Life. 

I strongly believe in nurturing creativity in children.  We’re all born with incredible imaginations, it’s simply a case of finding a way to harness them, along with the addition of a good dollop of self-belief.  That's why I'm always looking for new and innovative methods to help immerse children in the world of stories.  It's humbling to see my little jars of magic improving literacy and creating a love of stories for so many children.

So, there you have it – a glimpse into the world of the Chief Story Maker at Magical Story Jars.  I can't wait for you to join me on this journey of igniting imaginations, building confidence and ability, one school and one magical story at a time!
