This story is a little scary, parental discretion is advised.

Big thanks to Jill for her support and story suggestions. As a Patron she was able to request the following story:

Hello Friends at Bedtime FM!!! My nephew John and my niece Marisa love listening to BedtimeFM whenever we have a sleepover or take a long car ride. Our favorite stories are “Elsie Meets a Witch” and “Chester and the Traveling Toilet” but we love all the stories and the entertaining narrators.

The kids and I collaborated on this request to choose our story details. Big brother John and little sister Marisa hug Mommy & Daddy goodbye and go camping with Aunt Jilly and her fearless dog Teddy. It’s a real campsite in the woods with a cool green pond for swimming.  The kids favorite activities were swimming, collecting firewood, cooking our food over the campfire (hot dogs, roasted corn, marshmallows and more!!) hiking in the woods and playing games. We imagined what would happen if a scary-looking yet kind Swamp Monster lived in the pond and needed our help, and maybe somehow we could help each other?? Thanks so much!! We really love all your stories, especially from Jess Judd, and we look forward to memorializing our first ever family camping trip with a fun and feel-good story!! We love BedtimeFM!!!

Thanks,

Jill

This episode is a story suggestion by Patreon listener Abigael who is four years old.

She wanted to hear Jess tell a story about her and her little sister Clara, and how they put on their magical butterfly wings and fly across America to South Carolina with our Rottweiler puppy Stella Blue and visit their Minnie and Pop Pop and their dog Georgia. They also wanted it to feature lots of golf cart riding, wooden bridges, and splashing in puddles!

We all hope you enjoy this mini adventure.

I hope that you are all doing well. We’ve been gone a very long time, haven’t we?

I really hope you enjoyed the Jiffling stories, I know I did, and they now have their own show on Bedtime FM. Search for Bottle Ship in your podcast app or head to bedtime.fm/bottleship to listen to the new story released just a few days ago.

Today’s story is by an artist who goes by the name Ghost Sung. The story is all about a little raindrop as she follows through the water life cycle. This is an interesting little story, and as part of an art project in a village called Brimscombe, where all of the bus shelters have been re-decorated by a group of artists, Ghost Sung has hand-painted every word for commuters to read as they wait for their bus.

Perhaps if you live nearby you could follow the trail and see them all for yourself?

I hope you enjoy the story.

Sarah is a Scientist in Training asking questions we’ve all been curious about. She performs experiments that will make you giggle and want to dash off to your own science laboratory. 

Are you ready to experiment with glitter and germs? 🔬✨

This story is recommended for children ages 5+

Glitter Germs: Hand Washing Experiment

The use of plastic based glitter may have a bad effect on the environment. It's advised to find a biodegradable alternative or to use a fine couscous dyed with bright colours. Using wet hands and dirt is an okay alternative but you'll have to sprinkle on the dirt on rather than have them look like they just came out of a swamp.

Objective

Kids learn the importance of washing their hands with a concrete example.

Tools Needed

GlitterHand LotionBowlPaper Towel

Procedure

Ask your kids: Why do we need to wash our hands? What are germs? When should we wash our hands?Apply a small amount of lotion to each child’s hands.Sprinkle glitter onto each child’s hand over a bowl to catch excess glitter.First, give each child a dry paper towel to try to clean one hand. Discuss their observations of how effective the dry paper towel is.Then, have each child wash both hands with cold water. Discuss their observations of how effective the cold water is.Next, have each child wash both hands using soap and warm water. Discuss their observations of how effective the soap and warm water is.Last, discuss why is it important to wash our hands? Ask kids to give several examples of when they should wash hands. (ex. After sneezing, using the restroom, after playing outside, etc.)

Brad doesn't believe in Father Christmas, and he doesn't want anyone else to believe that nonsense either. He's happiest when he's making everyone else miserable. His parents aren't bothered about Christmas either, so on Christmas Eve there's no decorations in the house, no tree downstairs, no stocking hung up. But, whether Brad believes it or not, soon he'll have to decide whether to stay being Bad Brad, or whether he'll get on his bike and save Christmas. Is it worth the effort for one person? For sure! And is it better to fix badness with kindness? For sure!

🐉 Once Upon A Time, there was a town that had, in its best-loved spot, a large, long, scaly rock that looked amazingly similar to a sleeping dragon. Along with this dragon-shaped rock came a tale: ‘In times of trouble, the dragon will wake, and free the village, by making a lake’.

Well, trouble did come to that town, in the form of one very, very hot and dry summer. The townsfolk were desperate for rain, but it just did not come.

Would the tale about the dragon prove to be true? 

Would it wake and save them from this drought, or was it just a made-up story? Listen to this exciting short story by Ellena Ashley to find out!🐉

Once upon a time, there was only the Dream. Nothing else, just the Dream, floating around and snoring.

Until one day the Dream woke up and started to think about all the amazing things that might be. The more the Dream imagined, the more it wondered what it would be like to be all these REAL things and not just a dream.

A delightful story about the beauty and power of the imagination with the underlying message that if you really devote yourself to your dreams, perhaps they might just come true.

Suitable for children aged 4 to 10 years old

The boys had a day off school. It was raining so they ended up at the library, with nothing much to do. Boredom was sinking in until Zach knocked over a pile of dinosaur books. Suddenly the pages were empty, people were flitting at the air with their hands and hiding under tables. What on earth was going on, and where had the dinosaurs disappeared to?!

Don't ever let anyone try to tell you libraries are boring places!
