AB The  storytelling  practice,  in  general,  and  the  digital  storytelling  (DS),  in  particular,  entail  many  advantages  for young pupils in the educative context. The main aim of this paper was to examine the tools, the type of activities, and  the  themes  of  the  stories  devoted  to  preschool  pupils.  Preservice  preschool  teachers  were  asked  to  choose tools  to  create  their  genuine  story  materials  and  to  design  an  activity  for  a  specific  target  age  of  preschool education  to  go  with  them.  A  total  of  136  preservice  teachers’ tasks were analysed for this study. The results showed that the most frequent tool type in the three-targetage (3, 4, and 5 years old) was the one allowing the integration of Dialoguesin the stories; the most popular activity type was Reading comprehensionfor 4-and 5-year-olds, and Images (match or order)for 3-year-olds; and the most recurrent theme was Animal and petsfor 4-and 5-year-olds and Friendship for 3-year-olds. This type of study is essential to train preservice  teachers both digitally and methodologically for today's school.
