Weekend Giveaway: Sparkle Stories

February 11, 2012 //  by Jamie C. Martin

This giveaway has ended and the winners have been contacted via email. Thanks for entering!

Today you’re in for a treat: an introduction to one of my family’s recent discoveries, Sparkle Stories. My three children have fallen in love with these imaginative tales, and I think yours will as well.

From Sparkle Stories:

“Sparkle is an online subscription to high-quality audio stories for children and families. Each week Sparkle Stories delivers delightful audio stories to subscribers around the world.

We offer five original Story Series, plus a sixth Series with classic stories, songs and games, all designed to entertain and inspire the whole family. (Jamie’s note: Two of the storylines, about Martin & Sylvia, feature a homeschooling family.)

Audio stories, or stories told out-loud, are untethered to images viewed on a screen. The child is free and able to paint her own pictures out of her own imagination. She becomes relaxed and entranced – committing herself fully to a fantastic adventure.

Sparkle Stories are fun, Sparkle Stories are inspiring, and Sparkle Stories are good for young minds and spirits! Our stories inspire a sense of wonder and magic in life, encourage creativity and a strong sense of self, and even illuminate common childhood challenges.”

Two Simple Homeschool winners will receive a 3-month subscription to the full Sparkle Story series.

How to Win

To be entered for a chance to win, simply leave a comment in the comment section below!

Sparkle Stories is also offering an incredible discount to all Simple Homeschool readers: Only $1 for the first month of subscription!  Choose from one of three Sparkle Stories packages, and try four weeks of Sparkle goodness for one dollar. Go to http://www.sparklestories.com/trysparkle/ and use the magic code 58D0 (That’s “5 8 D zero”) to receive your discount!

This giveaway has ended and the winners have been contacted via email. Thanks for entering!

    What an amazing find! I was just praying yesterday for another way to foster my 3 yr old’s imagination. We’re listening to the sample of Martin & Sylvia right now and he is captivated. So much richer than television which usually leaves him overly-stimulated.

    I would love to win this. I think Sparkle Stories would be a great help during the bedtime routine with my three little guys. I can see them also helping keep the attention of my two tube feeders when it is time to sit still long enough for a feed.
