Mar 20: Clouds (fat chance) by bulldog

Mar 20: Clouds (fat chance)

All there has been all day is one big cloud, covering the whole sky!

So (starting from the bottom left)... I was pretty miserable as I drove home over the river, but then remembered that I had just got some new 'Story Cubes'.

then (middle row)... remembering the bad weather and how cloudy it was,

(top two)... I dreamed of flying above all of this and parachuting down to tropical lands...

(I think that worked)
Thanks again for the idea @kklickr

Every picture tells a story!

I'll post a tropical photo for you!

Oh take me to the tropical place there is 4 feet of snow covering my front yard on the first day of spring. Yuck! Nice dice where did you get them?
March 20th, 2013  
Great idea-- and I like the cubes, too. I actually had the same problem you did when looking ahead for clouds, but today they were actually big and puffy.
March 20th, 2013  
What a great idea - story cubes! You seem to be able to find the most interesting things and take some great pics

love these ~ I struggled to understand the sheep then realised that was a cloud ~ doh

Thanks everyone, I got these on line as my local toy shop does not stock them. I have a find collection of strange props now, including a load of new pigs which I have not yet been able to use?

Congratulations Alison, you are the first person to notice that the cloud has four legs and a face.

What a way to turn your day around. Shake the dice and voila...an adventure.

You are so creative and clever, I bow to you.
March 20th, 2013  
Great story. And what a bad influence you are ;-) I'm not allowed to buy any more resources, but, well, as husband is out at the mo he wont know I looked on Amazon. Hope he'll be out when my story cubes arrive then I can just pretend we've had them for ages lol.

When I was young I had a book that replaced certain words with pictures similar to these, you have just taken me back in time to that book!!!
March 20th, 2013

What a great idea! Love the dice, I could use them at school. Did you get them locally too or from the 'other place' beginning with E?!
March 20th, 2013  
Oh wow! Love) the story cubes! And yes, it tells the whole story. In the southern hemisphere there wasn't a cloud in sight today...oops, not very tactful! ;)

What a great game and to include children in it! Using imagination and story telling. There must be a reward somewhere!

You must have had some seriously "baaa-d" weather! Are these for a game?
March 21st, 2013  
Very cool! I was thinking the poor sheep were left outside in the downpour and that you felt like a wet sheep. Silly me!
March 21st, 2013

I see more stories on the horizon...
March 21st, 2013

March 21st, 2013  
Thank you all. There appears to be a lot of teachers on here, all saying "I will have to get some, for the kids at school"...
Yeah right...
