Storybox Playlist: Stories to Keep Kids Engaged (So Mom Can Relax)
Sparkle moms, it is because of you that Sparkle Stories has come into existence! What began as the seed of a great idea (in the mind of our founder and head-of-all things, Lisabeth Sewell) has become a reality because you also saw the value in what we create. You’ve brought us into your homes, your lives, your routines, and your hearts — and we are so thankful!
We’ve curated this playlist with you in mind — to help us express that gratitude! These are some of our most engaging, captivating, can’t-stop-listening, play-it-over-again stories, grouped by age. Use this playlist to keep everyone’s ears busy so you can get an hour of downtime this Mother’s Day! Included in this playlist are stories that encourage exploration and play, some of our most popular stories, and some stories that you, our dear Sparkle moms, have let us know that your little ones just keep wanting to listen to over and over.
