How the podcast magic works

In The Fairy Tale Art Cart, your kids don’t just listen to a story. They fully engage their listening and creativity to become young illustrators!

Whether it’s a Saturday morning, a rainy afternoon, or a long car ride… every parent needs a pocket of calm, and kids need creative outlets that don't glow. Each episode turns a folktale into a draw-along adventure.

Listen

Rachael tells a folktale from around the world, with music-filled drawing breaks along the way.

Builds imagination through interactive storytelling

Draw

Drawing breaks pause the story so kids draw the scene they just heard, their way.

Grows creative confidence, focus & empathy

Show & Tell

Your kids finish with story illustrations that help them re-tell the story (oh, hey literacy skills growth!)
