Watch your child's reaction as they follow Robin's journey through the forest, gaining knowledge about justice and fairness through exciting tales instead of lectures. Through the use of these stories, questions like 'What would you do to help?' happen naturally and result in meaningful conversations with even the youngest listeners.
The clever mix of problem-solving adventures in Robin Hood's tale is what makes it beautiful. Robin and his friends' success in outsmarting the Sheriff of Nottingham teaches your child how quick thinking and resourcefulness can help overcome obstacles.

Perhaps your young one wants to construct their own forest hideaway out of couch cushions or perfect their (soft) arrow shooting skills with rolled-up socks!
What makes this story so memorable for children is its perfect blend of action and emotion. They can be laughing at the Merry Men's forest antics one moment and then learning about sharing and helping others. The forest setting will probably take on a personality of its own, sparking a curiosity for nature and outdoor adventures.

The Origins of Robin Hood
Did you know you're sharing a story that has enchanted families for hundreds of years? The first Robin Hood tales appeared in 13th and 14th century England, told by traveling storytellers who wandered from village to village sharing news and entertainment. These storytellers, known as minstrels, would gather crowds in town squares and capture their imaginations with tales of forest adventures and noble deeds.
Your little ones might be fascinated to learn that Robin Hood might have been inspired by real people! In medieval England, several individuals named Robin or Robert Hood lived lives of adventure. The name was so common that it became a kind of nickname for clever outlaws who outsmarted authority figures. The Sheriff character was inspired by real tax collectors who sometimes made life difficult for ordinary families.
Here's a fun fact to share during storytime: medieval children actually practiced archery, just like in the story! In fact, English law once required all boys to learn this skill, making archery contests like Robin's a popular sport. Festivals would be held in villages where young archers could showcase their skills, just as today's children would compete in soccer matches or gymnastics meets.
