Storypod Audio Player and Tokens

Description

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.
