How it works

At StoryThyme, we believe in the power of storytelling to ignite imagination and nurture creativity. Our platform empowers you to craft personalised stories tailored specifically for your children, each one a magical adventure waiting to unfold.

It starts with your main character

You get to pick the main character of your story. Which means it can be based on your child, their favourite toy or pet, a friend or yourself!

You then get to chose the reading age for your story. This will tailor the language we use throughout your story.

Pick from a wide selection of themes

Discover a plethora of thematic delights tailored to every reading age:

For infants and toddlers up to 4 years old, delve into captivating narratives and engaging rhymes introducing fundamental concepts like numbers, shapes, colors, and the alphabet. Dive into whimsical tales set in vibrant locales, featuring adorable animals and captivating sounds. Explore stories designed to aid in early development, including those addressing night routines and the transition to weaning.

Ages 5 to 8 unlock a treasure trove of adventurous tales and stories of self-discovery. These narratives not only entertain but also foster social skills and navigate new life experiences such as forging friendships and celebrating uniqueness.

For ages 9 to 12, embark on immersive journeys filled with richly detailed settings and compelling characters. Dive into narratives that expand young minds, delving into topics like science, nature, and exploration, whether across the cosmos or the depths of the ocean. Encounter stories that instill essential values like honesty, kindness, and resilience, nurturing character development alongside intellectual curiosity.
