Want some time to yourself? This is how to make it happen! I make these bedtime stories up for my own children every night, so I figured I would record them. They are designed to give your child a simple, but somewhat interesting story to listen to. They are first person stories so kids can imagine themselves in the character’s shoes. They are mostly science fiction and fantasy based, because that’s what my kids like. Each episode is a 15-30 minute story followed by white noise to drown out distractions. The character always ends up back in bed, doing a short mindful relaxation exercise to help them off to sleep (if they aren’t there already). Get those kids to sleep!

  • Ninja Toaster Time - The Adventures of a Talking Toaster Part 3 - A Bedtime Adventure Story

    Ninja Toaster Time - The Adventures of a Talking Toaster Part 3 - A Bedtime Adventure Story
    Apr 20 2025
    It is time for Toasty the Talking Toaster to do a bit of Ninja training! Under the guidance of Master Tea Leaves (A sentient Tea pot who was once owned by a martial arts master) Toasty learns the way of Appliance Jitsu. His flames become more powerful, and his moves more fluid. He also learns to tap into a mysterious force that is present almost everywhere - the electrical grid. Can Toasty use his new skills to save a talking bread maker that has been disregarded due to the new sourdough bread movement? About Toasty - Toasty The Talking Toaster came to life one day when a misguided wizard used his wand to get a piece of bread out of the toaster. Since that time, he has been searching for the meaning of his existence. With a discarded skateboard as a mode of transportation, and retractable power chord, and the ability to produce small puffs of fire from his coils, Toasty is a force to be reckoned with!

My son loves it

Amazing stories for children. He definitely pays attention to the story line as sometimes he tries to guess what happens next ☺️ it also helped him to calm down and fall asleep faster.
