The other day I was searching for some good free story apps for kids. I have struggled to find a good free (or paid!) one that is appropriate for Pebble’s age group. Many have very long, wordy stories, which don’t hold her interest. Then I struck gold with You Tube! These classics are currently bed time favourites at our hosue, along with a couple of books (how many stories is standard at bed time? We do about four here…. yep, bed time is a long process).
How do your children enjoy stories? Do they like to use the tablets, phones, CDs and videos, as well as books?

What a good idea. We hadn’t seen these before. My daughter is six but enjoyed having a look at these. Keep up the good work in finding great ideas for the kids!!

Charlotte is still loving these, perhaps a little too much. There’s some interesting play scenarios coming up – a post will follow soon!

No, just books here Kylie although I can see my tech savvy 7 yo getting more and more interested in iPads, iPods, Kindles or whatever else is on the market. They use them at school all the time.

Fantastic, I have just spent a heap of time trawling through the App Store trying to find some appropraite stories for my little ones! Thank You Kylie.

There is so much out there …. and not all of it is good. In fact so much of it is the opposite of good! I hope your children enjoy these stories.
