A moment of importance.
A moment where the child feels important and gets the
opportunity to build a world with their parent. When a child
is happy, sad or angry all they want is to be heard. While using
‘Sound Stories’ the child gets to be an active participant in the
storythat is being created by giving them the opportunity to
pick the character they would want to hear about.

An opportunity to refocus and calm down.
A calm experience where kids can relax to ambient nature sounds
as they go to sleep. The whole process of telling a story helps a child
refocus and feel relaxed. The ambience of the story echos in the
background while they sleep.

placing them in the slots. On placing the cube in
the slot you hear the sounds of the character or
