Is there a child in your life who is quite stingy and doesn’t like to share their toys? If you have someone in mind, it’s time to send them into the world of Goop Tales, where the little Goops will travel with them to every continent in one of the best podcasts for kids on the internet.
Meet Stinjessie, a curious Goop girl who is very meticulous with her toys and doesn’t like to let her Goop friends use them. On a cloudy day, Stinjessie goes out to find rain puddles with her friend Abednego, but Stinjessie angers the clouds when she refuses to share the only puddle in sight.
Stinjessie’s journey through Kenya will help children learn about what it means to be generous as she does her best to share with those around her--even that sly leopard. She will have to think on her feet if she wants to keep herself and her new friend safe. In order to get back to Goop World, she’ll have to use her magic to help the animals of Kenya receive rain through her generosity. Will she finally learn how to stop being so stingy? Join her on her journey through Kenya to find out!
This short story podcast will help kids develop prolonged focus as they listen, as well as help them understand the importance of generosity and sharing with others. As they become enchanted by Stinjessie’s story, they will learn about many African animals, improve their attitude around sharing, and avoid becoming screen zombies. Children will love traveling in Kenya with Stinjessie and her animal friends.
