“Sparkle Stories produces original audio stories for children. Our stories are good food for young imaginations. They are simple, delightful and filled with a sense of wonder.
They inspire children to play, to marvel, to laugh and to be kind.
We have eleven original subscription Story Series – all of which follow the seasons of the year.
Families can subscribe and hear fresh stories each week, or they can try our Audio Books — with easy downloads right off the Sparkle site. We also have story packages for travel, story packages to give as gifts, and stories for all ages!”
“If you are looking for a wonderful way to keep kids engaged during holiday travel, I can attest that Sparkle Stories do the trick!
Whether it’s Martin and Sylvia (about homeschooled siblings), Junkyard Tales or The Willowbee Tree (a newer favorite this year!), or great Audio Books for longer trips like How to be Super, children and adults will be entertained and delighted by these wonderful seasonal stories that help families to slow down during this otherwise busy time of year.
And Sparkle Sleepytime is THE BEST for helping kids to fall asleep peacefully, even when away from home.”

The road less traveled by
My kids are 25, 23 and 12. 😉 But my granddaughters are 4 and 2. They are moving soon. I would love to gift them with this set of stories. I think new traditions and routines will help with their transition to a new town. Thanks for the chance.
My boys are 9 & 4 and they love love love audio stories!
My daughter is 7 and we are taking a 12-hour drive on Christmas. I would love something like this in the car.
We have so many long road trips coming up in the next few weeks! Not to mention how amazing it would be to have some sleepy times to calm down my overstimulated babies. Mine are 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1 and they love “Smarkle Stories” (as they call them!)
I love it when you so the Sparkle stories giveaways!!
I’m a highly sensitive parent… So, I can find MANY uses for this over the holoday season. Best use? In the car while getting errands done! 🙂

We have 4 boys – 1,3,4 and 6. They love audio books and I really want them to celebrate the Christmas season by learning it’s about making family memories together and that it’s not about the toys!!!
My children are 10, 9, 4, and 19 months, and I would use these to keep my 4 year old busy do my big kids and I could have a bit if uninterrupted time to do lessons. 🙂
My kids are 9,7,4, and 2. We love listening to audios while building legos, coloring, etc. We especially love audios that bring us closer to the holiday we are celebrating like thanksgiving and Christmas! This would be an awesome addition to our homeschool…thanks for the giveaway!
My boys are 7 and 8yrs old. We have subscribed to the podcast but with more stories on hand they would listen while traveling and at afternoon rest time.

My little guy is 4 yrs old and bedtime can be stressful for him sometimes. I’d like to try Sparkle Stories at bedtime and see if it helps.
I have two daughters, ages 5.5 and 7 and they LOVE Sparkle Stories. They have their own MP3players so they can listen on the go and during homeschool time we will often turn them on the podcast while doing quiet, creative work. They stories are so sweet and wholesome. Thanks Simple Homeschool – you’re the best too!
My kiddos are almost 3 and almost 6 and we have discovered Sparkle Stories through their podcast. It’s not in the budget right now, but we would LOVE to have more wonderful stories to listen to on our car rides 🙂
I have 2 boys under 4. Sparkle stories would be a great wind-down after dinner. We all like our chamomile tea and cuddles. Sparkle Stories would be a great addition to the routine. 🙂
My girls are 8 and 6 years old and we homeschool. These amazing audio stories are crucial to our week. Our most favorite time to listen to Sparkle Stories is when the girls work in their art space. They are most often inspired by Martin and Sylvia’s adventures. We appreciate the stories all year long!
Our girls are 5 and 3 – we love audio stories. Especially during lazy afternoons while we do crafts or color.

My homeschool daughter is 11. She continues to love Sparkle Stories. The stories continue to be a wonderful, safe, wholesome experience for us, with an abundance of joy, just what anyone needs for the holidays.
Listening to Sparkle Stories would afford our six- and four-year-old daughters an opportunity to pause during the holiday season. We strive to keep the days simple but sometimes get caught in the whirlwind of it all.
