3-minute bedtime stories

Three minutes is the rescue length — for the nights that ran long, the bath that took forever, and the child who is already rubbing their eyes. One small moment, one warm ending, lights out.

Every story in Storyworld exists at 3, 5, and 10 minutes, so the length is something you choose rather than something you settle for. Best for ages 2 to 4, or any night that's already gone past bedtime.

Pick tonight's feeling first — scared, sad, silly, sleepy, or any of the other sixteen — and the 3-minute version is ready to press play.

Questions parents ask

Is a 3-minute bedtime story long enough?

Three minutes is the rescue length — for the nights that ran long, the bath that took forever, and the child who is already rubbing their eyes. One small moment, one warm ending, lights out.

Can I switch lengths later?

Yes. The same feelings and story worlds are available at every length, so you can go shorter on a hard night and longer on a slow one.

What does it cost?

Storyworld is free for three days. After that it's a single payment of $14.99 for lifetime access to the whole library, including every story added later. Cancel during the trial and you're never charged.
