Creating audio experiences based on early childhood literacy
skills and developmental stages, the Storypod Audio Learning System grows with
your child! The heart of the system is the Storypod Audio Player, a
360° sound speaker that is easy to use, built to last, and kid-safe. Along with
the teal protective sleeve, purchase of the Storypod Player includes the micro-USB
cable, a recordable token, recordable sticker, and lanyard. The Audio content
is sold separately. The Storypod does not support online streaming, so children
can safely use the audio player independently!
Using carefully created
Crafties and Tokens,
children simply “tap” the top of the Storypod audio player to start listening.
It really is that easy! Setting up the Storypod is easy. Charge it with the
included micro-USB cable, download the Storypod Parent App to your phone, and
follow the instructions in the Parent App to connect the audio player. Wi-Fi is
required for setup and to download purchased content.
Parents and children will appreciate the ease of use and
variety of content that the Storypod offers. While
Storypod Audio Content can be enjoyed by children of all ages, the publisher
recommends that children under 3 years old should only use Storypod under adult
supervision.
