Welcome to Sparkle Stories

Martin and Sylvia Love Fairies!
At Home with Martin & Sylvia

Join Martin and Sylvia -- two delightful and all-too-familiar children -- as they explore the infinite possibilities of their sweet home in the woods. These stories follow the rhythms of family life through the four seasons, delighting in the creative endeavors and sweet adventures of the much-loved brother and sister.

Nature School Project: Making a Stick Friend

For this Nature School Project we learn to make stick friends, inspired by the Martin & Sylvia Nature School story, "Out in the Sticks."

Outdoor Nature Art

The project this week is a special one – something that, like Martin, will fill you with the quiet excitement of a new project! We’re going out into the world and making our very own nature art.

Nature School Project: Nature Bracelets

These autumn nature bracelets are so simple the impact can be deceiving, but they are tons of fun. Mom and Dad, you will not be able to resist making one of your own!

Nature School Project: Hidden Earth Art

What is Hidden Earth Art? It's creating something in the natural world that's your own creation, but so subtle someone else might not notice it.

Nature School Project: Flower Crowns

This tutorial is not just about making pretty crowns, but making a crown fit for a leader -- whether that leader is a big sister who helps take care of her siblings, a boy who watches over the frogs and fish in the pond at the park, or even an elderly person who helps children learn to read each week.

Sparkle Sleepytime - en español

Our Newest Collection!
Sparkle Sleepytime - en español

Ya sea durante los largos y activos días del verano o los más cortos y ajetreados días del invierno, a veces nuestros pequeños necesitan ayuda para bajar el ritmo. Las historias de Sparkle Sleepytime son sencillas, suaves y lentas, contadas con el objetivo de dar la bienvenida a los pequeños y mayores a un momento de descanso o de sueño. Cada cuento presenta a un adorable animalito en una dulce aventura, y todos terminan con los animales acurrucándose en sus madrigueras, nidos o camas de plumas, listos para cerrar los ojos y quedarse dormidos. Esta serie es perfecta para la hora de la siesta, los ratos de tranquilidad y la hora de dormir, o para cualquier momento en el que desees una historia particularmente tranquila y relajante para tus pequeños.
