Adventures and Fairy Tales Inside

You'll be excited to know that we've added some great new videos to the site! First, check out the classic fairy tale of Rumpelstilskin, the mysterious little man who was able to spin straw into gold. Once they finish the story, ask your child to talk about their favorite part or pose any or all of the thought provoking questions below:
  1. Name the characters in the story. Who are the two main characters?
  2. Where did the prince lock the Miller's daughter?
  3. What is a spinning wheel?
  4. Can straw turn into gold?
  5. What did the queen have to do in order to keep her baby?
  6. How did the Princess find out the little man's name?
  7. Why did the Princess tell Rumpelstilskin he could have her child?
I've also added a Chapter book to the video section entitled The Talking T Rex. You can try reading one chapter each night. But your child may get so swept up in the excitement of the story that they want to read the whole thing at once!

Enjoy!
