Children’s podcasts: storytelling for toddlers

Children’s podcasts are such a great alternative to screen time. It’s like a free version of Tonys or Yoto player. Picture reading a story to your children, but with a narrator doing it for you. I’ve listed a few of mine and my children’s faves below.

Obviously finding the best stories that your children will love and interact with comes with trial and error but, here are our top 3 favorites to jumpstart you.

🤍Lingokids: this one uses educational stories in a format for kids to understand. It talks about a range of things from “why do we have dreams?“ to “how to nurture plants” to “why our bodies need water..” I really like that it’s teaching while keeping their curious minds occupied.

🤍Gardenkeeper Gus: this one is focused on a 6 year old boy named Gus and his squirrel friend Rel. They go exploring on many different adventures from “collecting seashells at the beach” to learning how to “make a salad” to “having play dates” and making new friends. It toggles from a 6 year olds perspective which is super relatable to kids and the narrators.

🤍Deep blue sea: this one is about climbing aboard a submarine to join underwater explorers Marina and Reef on awesome adventures in the magical oceans covering our planet. Children get to meet amazing sea creatures, learn tons of fun facts, and discover ways to protect the oceans these creatures call home. (I totally stole this from the description because I couldn’t articulate how to explain it to you guys lol)

... Read moreFinding engaging, screen-free activities for our little ones can sometimes feel like a challenge. That’s why I'm such a huge fan of children's podcasts! They offer an incredible, imaginative alternative to screen time, bringing stories and learning to life through sound. It's like having a free, endless library of audio adventures that truly capture their attention and spark their curiosity. Beyond the amazing options like Lingokids: Stories for Kids, Gardenkeeper Gus, and Deep Blue Sea that we absolutely adore, there’s a whole world of audio content out there designed for various ages and interests. If you're searching for more ways to entertain and educate your kids, here are a few more podcasts that come highly recommended and have been a hit in many households: For parents seeking guidance alongside entertainment for their children, the Janet Lansbury Unruffled Podcast is a treasure. While it's primarily for adults, diving into respectful parenting principles can profoundly impact the environment you create for your child. It helps us understand behavior and respond with empathy, fostering a more peaceful home, which in turn benefits our children's emotional well-being as they listen to their own Podcasts FOR LITTLES. When it comes to captivating storytelling for children, Circle Round from WBUR is a fantastic choice. This podcast adapts folktales and myths from around the world into sound-rich, dramatic stories for kids ages 4 to 10. Each episode explores important lessons like kindness, generosity, and persistence, making it a wonderful way for curious kids to engage with diverse cultures and timeless wisdom. It’s perfect for car rides or quiet time, encouraging active listening and imagination. If your kids love familiar characters, you might want to check out the Work It Out Wombats! podcast or the Bluey Storytime Podcast. These bring beloved TV show characters into an audio format, which can be comforting and exciting for young fans. Work It Out Wombats often focuses on problem-solving and social-emotional skills, while Bluey Storytime continues the imaginative play and family dynamics that make the show so popular. They offer a sense of familiarity while still being Stories that teach curious kids new things. For those who appreciate humor and faith-based lessons, the Veggietales Giggle Pod offers a fun blend of silly songs, stories, and biblical principles, delivered with the classic VeggieTales charm. And for the youngest listeners, the Sesame Street Podcast provides familiar voices and educational content, often covering early learning concepts and social skills in an engaging, accessible way. It’s always wonderful to find content that aligns with values and provides wholesome entertainment. These podcasts, much like following the everyday adventures of a 6-year-old Gus or exploring underwater with Marina and Reef, offer diverse paths to learning and fun. They empower children to use their imaginations, develop listening skills, and learn new concepts without the distraction of a screen. It’s all about finding what resonates with your child’s unique interests and turning everyday moments into enriching auditory experiences.
