Ep 488. Gloomy Day Fun: a relaxing story and meditation for kids 21:09

21:09

It’s a gloomy and rainy day on Ahway Island, but Serena and Salvador Sea Lion have a fun day anyway! Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Gloomy Day Fun,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:49 Gloomy Day Fun Excerpt: It was a gloomy afternoon on Ahway Island. The sun was shining behind the clouds, of course, but nobody on the island could see it, because there were too many clouds in the way. It wasn’t really cold, but the air was heavy, as if the clouds wanted to rain down on the ground below but just weren’t quite ready yet. The world just felt a little dreary and as if everything was just…waiting for something. Serena and her friends were sleeping on some big rocks in the water not far from the shoreline. They had felt listless in the morning and had decided to take a nap. Now, the tide was starting to come in, and the water rose higher and higher against the rocks until at last, suddenly, a wave swept up over the rock and all over Serena’s body. Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe. Looking for a podcast to help settle your child in for nap time, bedtime or a break?

A big storm washes Paula Penguin’s sand castle away, but she rebuilds with the help of a friend. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:40 Penguin Palace Excerpt: On this particular morning, the air felt heavy and thick. Paula looked up at the sky and noticed dark clouds gathering on the horizon, far out over the ocean. She saw a group of seagulls flying quickly overhead, heading inland. As Paula was observing the clouds, one of her penguin friends named Puku toddled up beside her.“Hi, Paula,” said Puku. He pointed a fin at the horizon. “Those clouds look kind of scary. My papa said they mean a storm is coming.” Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.

Ep 925. Dragon’s Scentsational Day: a mindful kids’ story 17:55

il y a environ 5 jours17:55

17:55

Dragon meets Bruce the Dog, and tries to help him follow a scent trail. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:29 Dragon’s Scentsational Day Excerpt: The day was nearly perfect, Dragon thought, while lumbering along the forest trail. The pine needles felt spongy beneath Dragon’s feet, and they cast a fresh scent in the air. Blips of sunlight dappled the ground and appeared to glitter as the tree branches swayed in the delicate breeze. In the distance, Dragon noticed the incessant chirp of a red winged blackbird amidst a chorus of frogs. Dragon glanced down, and immediately spotted a trail of industrious ants, some carrying items far bigger than their tiny bodies. Ducking down to observe the colony more closely, Dragon smiled. For being such miniscule creatures, the ants were one of the hardest working inhabitants of the Ahway Island Forest. They lifted objects that were many times bigger than they were and carried them over long distances, working as a team to build their nest and feed their community. Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.

Brianna invites Helen over for a play date and plans everything in advance. But maybe it’s better to include Helen in the planning. Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Playing Together,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 11:00 Playing Together Excerpt: Today was the day that they had chosen for the play date. And although she was excited, Brianna was also a little nervous. This was the first time she had had a friend over to play at her house, other than her cousins, of course. Would Helen like her house? Would her mom and dad like Helen? What if Helen got bored? Brianna herself didn’t like feeling bored and certainly didn’t Helen to feel bored, especially not on her first time visiting Brianna! So Brianna decided she would plan the day from start to finish. That way, there would be no chance Helen would be bored! Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

Grubby Kitty finds a fun roll of paper when his humans aren’t home. How will they react to the mess? Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:33 Playful Paper Excerpt: The warm sunshine sparkled through the window as Grubby Kitty leaned his front paws on the glass. Outside, a pair of yellow butterflies fluttered among the garden flowers. Grubby’s bright blue eyes followed the insects as they flitted about. Eventually, one came to land on the ledge just outside the window. Grubby stared at the butterfly with twitching whiskers. The butterfly’s wings opened and closed slowly, as if waving hello to the little kitty. Grubby gave a soft, friendly meow in return. As the butterfly lifted off again to rejoin its friend, Grubby stretched and hopped down from the window and onto the couch.

Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:47 The Colorful Ocean Excerpt: Tanya the Sea Turtle was swimming in the beautiful green-blue ocean waters that surrounded Ahway Island. Sunlight streamed through the clear and shallow waters, the light causing the ocean to sparkle beautifully all around her. Tanya’s favorite fish were the parrot fish. They had bright green tails, little multi-colored flippers, and their blue mouths looked just like beaks. The first time the little sea turtle saw a parrot fish, she almost giggled because it looked so much like a parrot! But she didn’t want to hurt the fish’s feelings so she kept her giggles inside. Although she loved the way the parrot fish looked, they were also her favorite because in her experience, they were also the friendliest. Anytime she saw one of the parrot fish, they immediately said hello and asked her how she was doing .

Wakely Water Scooter is having a tough time staying still, but he gets some advice from his friends to help. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:50 A Day at the Dock Excerpt: Wakely Water Scooter bobbed gently next to the lake dock, still secured with a rope. Just yesterday, Wakely’s family brought him out of storage and onto the lake. Wakely smiled as he remembered the fun he’d had zooming across its surface, splashing through waves, and feeling the wind rush past him. Wakely was eager to get out and go zooming once again, but his rider wasn’t here yet, so all he could do was float. At first, Wakely didn’t mind. The water rocked him gently, back and forth, back and forth. The warmth of the sun felt nice on his metal sides. The sound of the waves was enjoyable.

Rebel, Rob, and Riley Raccoon noticed Ballet Bunny’s snow roses and want to create their own. The little bunny follows them to their den to help. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:12 Raccoon Roses Excerpt: The little bunny looked out from under the shelter of the cozy pine and grinned. The world was quiet, white, and sparkly. Snow had fallen yesterday, and Ballet had used the fresh blanket to recreate her garden of snow roses. Some were big, round blooms, and some were little buds, but they all stood in a circle around her tree. Ballet loved looking at her snowy roses. They reminded her of summer. As Ballet gazed at them, she imagined the warmth of the sun on her fur, the soft petals brushing against her nose, and the sweet scent filling the air. Even though winter was cold, her snow roses shimmered in the morning light, just as lovely as real flowers.

Rain falls in the forest, filling up Brooke, the little stream. But then she has an idea for what to do with all the fresh water! Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “The New Waterfall” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Female Story Begins: 11:15 The New Waterfall Excerpt: The sound of rain pitter-pattering filled the air, as the clouds slowly released their drops of water over the lush green forest. Raindrops were falling everywhere. All the animals scurried to find places to stay dry and listen to the rain. Most of the animals loved the sound of falling rain. It was so comforting! The sound was so soothing that the little bunnies curled up together under a pine tree to take a nap. The squirrels found it fun to watch the drops fall onto the ground. For the lively squirrels, it was especially fun to watch the rain splash into the puddles and into the stream that flowed gently through the cozy forest. The stream’s name was Brooke, and all the animals loved her very much. They always felt grateful to her for the fresh water she gave them to drink, for the scenic beauty she gave to the forest, and for the lovely music of her rushing waters. Today, Brooke herself was feeling refreshed as the newly fallen rain filled her banks. In fact, she was beginning to feel a little full now – a little too full, actually. It had been raining a lot lately. What could she do? The water was nearly at the top of her banks.

Dragon wakes up early and watches the sunrise on the beach, helping Benji Sand Bucket along the way. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:26 Sunrise Dragon Excerpt: Dragon landed on the soft sand and took a few steps. It felt so nice between Dragon’s toes! Dragon wiggled them deeper into the sand and smiled. The sun was now starting to peek over the horizon. The pink and orange of the sky reflected in the ocean’s surface. What a majestic sight! Dragon was grateful to have woken up early enough to see the sunrise. Dragon relaxed on the beach, taking in the gorgeous view as the waves crashed on the sand. The beach was peaceful yet energized at the same time in the early morning light. Glancing down, Dragon noticed there was something blue that was almost buried in the sand, right next to them. Puzzled, Dragon reached down and after a few tugs, pulled it out. It was Benji! Benji was a sand bucket, the kind used for making castles.

Kelly the Computer helps plan a wonderful birthday party! Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “A Birthday Search” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 8:52 A Birthday Search Excerpt: Kelly never stopped feeling amazed by how much wonderful information she could help the woman find. Once Kelly had heard the woman talking to someone about what she called “the old days,” before Kelly existed. The woman said that in those days, people didn’t have computers in their house and could not search for information or pictures so easily. It was very hard for Kelly to imagine what that would have been like! Kelly wondered what the woman would like to do today as the woman put her hand on Kelly’s mouse. Kelly’s little white cursor, in the shape of an arrow, glided over to the internet browser icon.

Tad the toad decides to share some nice compliments with the entire forest on a sunny day. Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:51 Compliment Quest Excerpt: The happy toad hopped along his favorite path, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the vibrant colors of the flowers. The red roses nodded their heads in the breeze. The yellow daisies waved hello in the morning light. Tad stopped in the center of a patch of lavender and inhaled deeply, enjoying the relaxing fragrance of the flowers. Just as he was about to continue hopping, Tad noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. A familiar toad was making his way toward him. It was his best friend, Tanner! Tanner’s spots were a lovely shade of brown, like autumn leaves. Once Tanner saw that Tad had noticed him, Tanner jumped up and down and said, “Good morning, Tad!” Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
