The Fairy Tale Art Cart is an interactive storytelling podcast that ignites creativity with draw along stories for kids.

​In The Fairy Tale Art Cart, kids don't just listen to a story; they become co-dreamers of the tale as they draw along!

 

At key moments in each episode, the story pauses for a music filled drawing break so that kids can illustrate the part of the story they just listened to!

Each 30-ish minute episode of the podcast features one folktale with music-filled drawing breaks, told by performance storyteller Rachael Harrington. The art supplies needed are minimal- usually just paper and your favorite coloring materials.

 

Kids (and their grown ups) love to use this time as self-guided, screen-free creativity!

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 🙌🏻. Thank you, Rachael!
