Storybox Playlist: Stories to Keep ‘Em Riveted
How do you make long plane rides, road trips, or train travel feel pleasant and fun? Stories. Lots of stories.
Here at Sparkle, we all have kids and we know how hard travel with kids can be — but that doesn’t have to be the case. My family drove 13 hours from Tucson to Austin and we listened to Sparkle Stories almost the whole way except when we were playing Sparkle car games or the kids were napping. It was glorious.
We’ve rounded up five of our best, most compelling stories — some about travel adventures, but not all — for your listening enjoyment. There is one for each age group to get you inspired, but don’t feel limited to only these. I will often follow a theme for our trip playlist — maybe it’s about family if we are going to see family, or about camping we are heading out for a few days in the woods. I remember driving to the ocean and curating a list of ocean/water/pirate-themed stories. The possibilities are endless.
