Due to the rapid development of current science and technology, this paper will discuss about the used of storytelling approach in the development of an interactive multimedia courseware as an introduction to science for preschool education. Developing an interactive multimedia courseware with storytelling approach promotes learning process become more exciting and the knowledge could be delivered and acknowledged easier. The purpose of the courseware is to act as CAI and CAL tool for 5 to 6 years old preschool children in order to gain their interest in Science subject, to nurture good values, to encourages and improving their reading abilities.
