Kid-Friendly Chess Toys

'Story Time Chess' Teaches the Strategy Game to Kids Ages Three to Seven

— May 10, 2018 — Life-Stages
Chess is a classic strategy game that teaches players to evaluate, adapt, calculate and visualize—and Story Time Chess is a kid-friendly game that was designed to communicate the complex mechanics of chess to young kids between the ages of three and seven.

Story Time Chess was recently launched as part of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, promising that no experience is needed for kids to start learning how to play. The game sets itself apart by pairing each piece with an illustrated story that details the movements of each individual game piece.

The chess game includes two game boards, a themed board and a board of standard size for regulation chess. To make the experience of teaching chess to kids even more fun, Story Time Chess also includes additional mini-games and cards.
