Item sent for consideration for review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.
If you remember, Jack and I reviewed One Third Stories back in 2016 and we were recently contacted to see if we would like to review one of One Third Stories’ Story Boxes. We were very happy to – Jack is keen to get learning more in French so we opted for the French story box.
I was sent the first box. This contains a story all about a T-Rex called Terrance who’s on a search for the perfect pair of shoes. It is said that your child will learn basic greetings, numbers up to ten, and colours. The activities within the pack include build-your-own dinosaurs using numbers and colours in French, using French numbers for simple sums, and how to tell somebody else your name, age, and favourite colour in French
You can choose your subscription – for 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. The 12 months works out the best value but for the 3 month plan, there is an upfront payment of £50.97 which works out at £16.99 a box. There is UK only free shipping and it auto renews after 3 months and you can cancel renewal at any time.
So what did we think?
Jack was very happy with his activity box. He has been learning snippets of French at school and is a total bookworm so this combined two great loves. He has been loving dipping in and out of the box, reading some of the story in English and some in French and working out what the French phrase means.
It has made me hark back to my GCSE French and is actually helping me to remember the language which I had long since forgot. Jack has been enjoying using the flash cards so that both he and I can get to learn the words in both their English and French words.
He’s definitely keen to get his hands on another box and learn some more French words – and I’m keen to help him. It is always great to see children passionate about learning – and I’m keen to help Jack with his learning too.
Are your children learning any languages?
