Short bedtime stories for kids

Calm cartoon stories with happy endings, all under four minutes. They're sorted from shortest to longest, so you can pick one that fits tonight.

Tonight's calm playlist

Three gentle stories, about 6 minutes in all. Play them in order, then it's lights out.

  1. The Honest Woodcutter 1:57
  2. The Two Seeds: Pip and Peb 1:57
  3. The Little Spider's Lesson 1:58

Bedtime mode dims the colours, stops the animations and turns sounds off. Tap the moon at the top to switch it back.

A simple bedtime routine

  1. Get the busy jobs done first: bath, pyjamas, teeth.
  2. Offer two stories and let your child pick one.
  3. Turn the screen brightness down and the volume low.
  4. When it finishes, ask one gentle question, like "What did the little ant learn?"
  5. Screen off. Share one thing you were each thankful for today, then lights out.

A short story gives the day a happy ending without winding kids back up, and the moral gives you something nice to talk about while they settle.
