Storybox Playlist: Stories for Long Car Rides
This week's story box theme is: Stories for Long Car Rides.
Many of our Sparkle Team members have young children and know just how trying it can be for little ones to have to sit in a car for long periods, once the books have been looked at, the coloring sheets colored, and toys played with. That's where we can help! We have lots and lots of stories to help you and your kids happily pass the time in the car.
Sparkle Car Series
You've got a family car trip ahead, and it may be a long one. What to do with the little ones? Sparkle Car! This monthly series features hour-long collections of original stories mixed with traveling verses, songs and fun car games. We know excellent audio stories can make family travel times fun (and so much easier)!
How To Be Super Series
One Saturday morning, a seemingly ordinary husband, father and elementary school teacher learns that he has the “mark” of a superhero. The moment he decides to rediscover lost superpowers from his youth, his eyes are opened to community of curious local folk who teach him How To Be Super.
Martin and Sylvia's Family Tree of Stories
Three generations of Martin and Sylvia’s family gather together for Sylvia’s first-ever dance recital – and Martin has an idea: “Let’s record stories about big events from everyone’s childhood!”
From meeting the Governor to losing a championship game, avoiding a flood and singing at the most famous horse race in the world, everyone is rapt and deeply touched by the tender stories shared. Sylvia in particular hears sage advice in each of the stories, and by the time of her recital, she feels ready and confident to meet this big event in her life.
This audiobook will inspire your children (and you) to seek out and collect childhood stories from all generations – so they can not only see where they come from, but bring family lessons into their own life.
Martin and Sylvia: Travel!
Join Martin and Sylvia's adventures as they travel from New England to California - in car, plane and train! In the five chapters of the Audio Book, the family brings imagination to each step of the way, and creates delight wherever they are (even delayed in the airport)!
Nearly two hours of audio stories for traveling fun and inspiration.
