what are they?

[EstherHirsch]

Would anyone know if there is a shop,or site that sells Jewish story sacks?

[EstherHirsch]

Story sacks are the new recommended resources for telling a story especially to a student with special needs. e.g The story of Yosef Mokir Shabbos You would have bread and water to show what Yosef ate during the week. You maythen want to lay a shabbos table to show how he ate on Shabbos. yOU might then have a hat and diamond to show how the rich man hid his riches. I would try and get a noise of the wind, etc and then a fish and show how the fish swallowed the diamond etc... This would aid students to understand the story better

I've seen things like "10 makos" sets around Pesach time, and Megillah sets, but I haven't seen sets for regular stories. I'd probably just try to put together some props from ordinary household/school items.

To use your example, bread, water, hat, "diamond", fish... are all things that you could bring from home or find in your local kindergarten classroom.
