We take it one step further by drawing a story into the experience.\n\nStories help us tie our imaginations into the web of reality at our fingertips, in this case the dough. By listening to a story and helping in the kitchen, we bake a rich experience out of simple ingredients, a process we call the Storytelling Loop.\n\nThe Storytelling Loop is a journey we take with our kids. We start with something real (like dough), then \u201cplant\u201d a story in it. When we finish, our kids are left with something very real that sparks both memories and their imagination. Play is often a further component, as children commonly repeat or act out the story with a favorite doll or stuffy. Tasting the fresh baked bread makes this experience one of the sweetest.\n\nIn This Episode:\n- Learn how to bake bread as a storytelling experience\n- Visit our website for ingredients and a video tutorial\n- As the dough rises, listen to the recorded story of \u201cBaker Lou & The Mouse King,\u201d or tell your own\n- Explore how storytelling can change your relationship to real things. Can you see each ingredient - water, honey, grain, and salt - as a character in your story?","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/32f68f63-f637-4d60-bd70-d823602638a8/knGrWhSHEPHwkk7aqEnJQc1I.jpg"}
