Weekend Giveaway: Sparkle Stories

//  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

Go to http://www.sparklestories.com/trysparkle/ and use the magic code 58D0 (That’s “5 8 D zero”) to receive your discount!

    Oh, I love Sparkle Stories! Would love to win this… also, if we got the $1 discount in the fall (I think it was the fall when it was offered), can we get it again?

    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.
