At first I was going to paint a base colour on them and then either paint or stamp a picture on each side. Then of course after waiting all this time I was in a hurry to make them so I decided to use vintage storybooks. 
I used pages with words as the base and then stuck the main picture over the top. I mod podged over the whole thing to seal it and filed the corners and edges.I am thinking of selling them with a small moleskin to records the story all in a drawstring bag. I might do a couple for the Pink Ribbon Market this Friday and see how they go.
I just had to post this picture of Lucy. She has decided she needed an MP3 as well and she "borrowed" Charlotte's old one. She walks around the house with the headphones on singing Mama Mia all the time now. Yesterday in the car I wasn't allowed to have the radio on because "I'm listening to my songs mummy!"

The story dice are very cool! Great idea. :)
I remember those story dice. Fabulous idea. I was going to have a go at making some, but couldn't find any wooden blocks!! Have to stick to sing-alongs and eye-spy for now. Yours look great. Well done.
