A birthday party with The Barefoot Storyteller includes a story told orally (themes include princesses, pirates, faeries, dragons, knights, monsters...).  Then a craft session where the children make a prop related to the story (eg princess hat or monster mask).  Finally, we will tell the story again with lots of improvisation and participation from the children.  Such a session will typically last 1 hour.   In addition, The Barefoot Storyteller can also supply heavily discounted books as an alternative to party bags.
