“Eek! I’m so excited to have found this podcast! I just listened to my first episode and can’t wait to play it for my 7 year old. As a kid who loves reading, drawing, and imagining this podcast is going to be perfect for her. This is such an amazing tool for kids and the music is so fun. Top notch production!”

About The Show

Whether it’s Saturday morning, a rainy day inside, or long stretches of time in transit… every parent needs a pocket of calm — and kids need creative outlets that don’t involve screens.

That’s why I created The Fairy Tale Art Cart Podcast (yep, that’s my own kids, listening & drawing along to an episode)!

Each episode blends a folktale with creative drawing prompts so that kids become the illustrators of the part of the story they just listened to.

Kids listen, imagine, and draw along —all while parents get 30 minutes of reliable downtime.

With nothing more than paper and crayons, your child will:

Explore their imagination through interactive storytelling
Build creative confidence, focus, and empathy
Stay happily occupied without turning to a tablet or TV

Whether you need a quiet moment to make dinner, finish an email, or simply rest, the Fairy Tale Art Cart Podcast is a screen-free activity you can feel good about.

Fans Are Raving:

“My 5 year old loves this podcast. He is not an avid podcast listener, but the art breaks make the story so much more manageable for a young brain and allow his creativity to shine! He loves the stories and drawing and I love the global folktales and the screen-free entertainment!”

“I enjoyed listening with my kids who are 6 and 4. I was surprised at how into the drawing breaks they got, and loved seeing how they rendered things from their imagination. My daughter in particular keeps asking to do more of these in the afternoons, when we have quiet time.”
