Audible Stories is a free resource for parents looking for family-friendly things to do at home
If you’re a parent currently caring for your kids at home, you’re probably facing a few new challenges. It’s tough enough to stop kids bouncing off the walls for ten minutes, let alone enact a daily schedule, and it’s given us all a profound new appreciation for our educators.
At home with kids, you have to wear several hats: entertainer, negotiator, personal chef and, occasionally when things get scary, counselor. All of it in addition to maintaining your own work or personal routine.
That’s a lot. We recognize that you’re juggling many plates with all this time at home, so Audible has launched a free resource your family can use to relax, be entertained and keep minds engaged while you’re home together. is a completely free web-based service available to anyone, anywhere that gives you and your family access to educational and entertaining content. With titles in a variety of languages, for kids, tweens and teens (as well as a few for parents!), we’re hoping Audible Stories can help take some of the load off.
Keep Minds Active
We all know education is important. That said, when parents are trying to juggle a hundred other tasks, it’s difficult to carve out time in the day dedicated to education. The educational, screen-free content you’ll find on Audible Stories may help make it a little easier.
Feel free to use Audible Stories as a way to keep your kids’ minds active, sharing everything from Shakespeare to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Aesop to A.A. Milne. You’ll find a wide array of titles hand-selected by our editors, including literary classics like Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, a mainstay on high school reading lists, as well as contemporary titles for kids of all ages. And for the budding mathematician in the family, Audible Studios’ 123: Learn to Count with Songs and Rhymes can help with early development.
There’s no replacement for a buzzing classroom or a thoughtful teacher. But being at home can be fun and engaging with these selections at Audible Stories.
