A bedtime story is not just entertainment
Going to bed is not the most pleasant moment for a child. How many times have our parents had to listen to “I don’t want to sleep” and “just a minute”?
And we still have so much to hear, now from our children...
This behavior is often caused by emotional stress. A long busy day, serious workload at school - all this has an exciting effect on the child.
Short bedtime stories will come to the aid of parents, which you can listen to every evening, turning getting ready for bed into a pleasant procedure.
A fairy tale will help your child relax before bed and create a magical atmosphere in the bedroom. Reading fairy tales are important moments of close communication between a child and a parent, strengthening his trust and affection. Listening to audio stories together is one of the facets of such communication.

A fairy tale about a house that loved cleanliness and comfort
Once upon a time there lived a House. It was a very beautiful, cheerful and welcoming House. But there were no owners in the House and the House was waiting for them to finally appear. The day has finally come! A whole family moved into the House: mom, dad and boy! How happy Dom was, how he dreamed of how amicably they would live together.
“I will help them, I will protect them from troubles and bad weather, and they will take care of me,” he thought.
Finally, the family moved into the House, arranged the furniture, put things and toys in their places. And life flowed on. Only, unfortunately, it’s not at all the way the House imagined it. On the very first evening, before going to bed, the boy scattered his toys all over the house, he didn’t even pay attention to the fact that his parents asked him to clean up after himself after playing. This continued the next day. Books, toys, pencils were now scattered everywhere. Dom frowned. He didn't know what to do. A few more days passed, and Dom understood why the boy did not want to clean up after himself. He was simply doing the same thing as his parents. Dad left his things everywhere, mom often forgot to wash the dishes. And there was no question of washing the floors or windows! Dom was very sad, he really wanted to make the life of his owners happy, but they didn’t want to help him at all and show a little care.
“Can people be happy in such a dirty house?!” – he thought, “No, I don’t need such masters.” It's better to do it yourself.
So the house decided to kick out this family. To do this, he began to buzz at night. Like this, quietly: - Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

A tale about a crib
Age: 5-10 years Once upon a time there was a crib. She had a pink flowered blanket, a soft white feather bed and a yellow polka dot pillow. There was also a very capricious girl at the crib. The girl's name was Anya. Every morning Anya woke up, stretched sweetly and, throwing away the pink blanket, jumped out of the crib like a spring. Anya was in a hurry to have breakfast and start some new interesting game. And, of course, it never occurred to her to straighten the pillow and blanket, to make up her crib so that it would look neat and not sit empty until Anichka’s grandmother arrived. The crib was very upset about this, but consoled herself: “Anya is still little, she’ll grow up, learn to do everything herself and won’t forget about me.” With these thoughts the crib sighed and fell asleep. Didn’t you know that cribs sleep during the day? After all, they show children interesting dreams all night, lull and warm their babies, and so they get tired. That's why they rest during the day. And when evening comes, they wake up, full of energy... But our crib didn’t want to wake up at all. But don't think that she didn't love her girl. No, what are you talking about! It's all about whims. Remember that the girl at the crib was very capricious? So, as soon as it was time to go to bed, Anya began to repeat: “I don’t want to go to bed! I won’t go to sleep!” She started crying and even stamped her feet. And who will like this attitude? And every evening the crib became more and more sad. And one day I finally decided: “Anechka doesn’t need me! I’ll go wherever my eyes go, or rather, wherever my legs go!” It's so sad when people don't love you... No sooner said than done. She waited for the crib until her grandmother filled it and left the room, and then she snuck out of the door herself. He moves his legs one after another, in a hurry. The crib went out onto the street, but he didn’t know where to go. But it doesn’t matter, her legs led her along the path. Out of habit, it is easier for them to walk on trampled earth than on grass. The path led the crib into the forest. And there... The trees stand tall and make noise. Birds flutter from branch to branch and sing. All sorts of animals run around the earth, each busy with their own business. “Oh,” the crib sighed, “what should I do? Maybe try to find a new owner in the forest?” Before the crib had time to think about it, she saw an ant crawling towards her along the path, dragging a straw.
How to tell fairy tales to a newborn
National program for optimizing feeding of children 1 year of age
The process of reading a fairy tale to a newborn child begins long before the actual reading. In order for your child to show interest in books, it is important that he master the basic skills: the ability to listen and look at pictures.
It is known that a child’s hearing develops while still in the mother’s tummy. Long before birth, he is able to hear and perceive the voices of his parents, music, and sounds of nature. Therefore, experts advise pregnant women to surround themselves and their unborn baby with pleasant sounds, arrange relaxation sessions, listen to calm music, and tell him fairy tales.
When a newborn is born, poems and fairy tales performed by his mother, which he heard before he was born, will have a calming effect on him.
As the baby grows up, the fairy tale repertoire gradually expands; nursery rhymes, jokes, and songs are added to the usual fairy tales and lullabies.
Children's first fairy tale books should be safe and colorful
In the period from birth to six months of age, you can read the text yourself, or you can use background listening to works. For this purpose, audio fairy tales help - an excellent solution for modern parents, for example, based on original or folk works: “Ryaba Hen” or “Fairy tales, nursery rhymes”, “Fairy tales before bedtime”.
From 6 months to a year, you can purchase your first children's cardboard book, which consists of dense, durable and safe pages. Children enjoy manipulating the book, which is a plus as it helps practice fine motor skills. You shouldn’t buy a lot of baby books, 2-3 will be enough.
Teachers have developed rules to help parents choose a book:
- It should have thick cardboard pages with high-quality binding, since the baby tastes everything;
- It is better to choose simple and large illustrations. The simpler the image, the more recognizable it will be to the child, and accordingly, the interest in the book will be higher;
- Ideal images are made on the basis of 4 primary colors (red, blue, yellow, green) and 2 additional ones (white and black), since overly colorful pictures tire the baby. Three-month-old babies perceive contrasting colors best;
- Pictures must be realistic, for example, pets or fruits known to children, or understandable actions of the characters. This is one of the most important points, since before the age of one year, a large amount of information is acquired, and abstract images will mislead infants.
Important! The ideal book with fairy tales for children 0 and older would be a small cardboard format with a picture on each page; words in it are optional. The mother will simply tell the child about what is shown in the picture, this will be the first fairy tale.
Travel on a balloon
Today is a beautiful sunny day. You and I board a large hot air balloon, the navigator greets us and invites us to go on a journey. We, of course, agree. And the ball begins to lift off the ground, it slowly rises and a gentle breeze caresses our faces, we hear the singing of beautiful birds.
The ball is slowly gaining height, we see the tops of the trees, and then the roofs of the houses of our city. From a bird's eye view the city seems completely different. He is so small, as if he were a toy, and there are many little people walking on the ground that look like ants.
The ball rises higher and higher, you feel light as a feather. You see the clouds so close that it seems you can touch them; the clouds draw bizarre patterns reminiscent of animals and birds.
You feel a pleasant cool breeze. And below, the landscapes replace each other - rivers, forests and fields, everything is clearly visible. The sun begins to set, painting a colorful sunset, and we understand that it is time for us to return home.
The balloon begins to slowly descend, rivers, forests and fields become closer and closer. And now we are descending towards our hometown, which has become its usual size. The balloon basket lands on the grass. We leave and go home happy. This trip was unforgettable, we will always remember it with warmth and joy in our souls.
