Bedtime stories are made easy with the FREE Story Tyke subscription. Get original stories for kids delivered via email! Simply grab your phone & tell the story!
I am NOT a good storyteller and my kids can attest to it. When they were small and would ask me to tell them a story, it usually consisted of some lame story that ended up being some sort of rendition of something that happened from our day, with the kids names swapped out, of course. By the end of the day I was so tired, I didn’t have the brain power to be creative. Sadly, it got to the point where my kids actually stopped asking me to tell them stories! That is why I wish I had Story Tyke when my kids were little!

The Mission Behind Story Tyke
I appreciate when I find a company and their mission / purpose aligns with my personal views.
“We believe that every child needs a chance to explore their imagination while living in a highly visual, digital world. Imagination time is extremely healthy for the development of children and in a world with increasing technology, we wanted to promote more imagination time without visuals, screens, and images.” –Story Tyke
I so, totally, agree with this 100%! This is why I chose to give my kids building blocks when they were younger rather than digital toys. I often found that they had more fun with an empty box because playing with it allowed their imaginations soar! And, you know, Story Tyke gets it!
Encouraging Imagination & Creative Thinking Skills
Have you ever been so engrossed in a book that you thought you were watching it on tv? The characters come alive and the action of the story seems real in your mind’s eye.
That has happened to me and that is one of the reasons that I loved using audio books in the car when my kids were younger. They got to use their imaginations (because there were no pictures to look at) and the characters became real to them in their minds.
Story Tyke follows this same premise! Storytelling without images not only enhances a child’s imagination and creative thinking, but it also improves literacy skills and memory recall for young children.

Plus, with ‘Tyke Time’ questions sprinkled throughout the stories, parents are able to not only tell the story, but engage in conversations with the child. Plus, this is also a great way for parents to educate and incorporate high morals.
