This week's Free Story comes from the "The Willowbee Tree" original audio story collection. It's called "Playing With Nothing." Piper and Clancy have a snow day from school, but instead of a day of snowy fun outdoors, they must stay indoors due to the wind and cold temperatures. They quickly get tired of their usual games and books, and they moan that they don't have anything to do. But then, the willow tree invites them to the barren Penguin Island off the coast of Namibia, and they learn from a group of penguins that one can have fun even when you are surrounded with what looks like nothing. Each week on the Sparkle Stories Podcast, we share a free story from one of our original story series!

You've heard that big word before--astrology. But what does it really mean?

The Book Club for Kids podcast began in the smallest quadrant of Washington DC called Southwest. It was the waterfront for DC, the place where ships would dock bringing everything from building supplies to fresh fish to slaves. This week marks the 173rd anniversary of what Washington Post writer Colbert King calls "one of the most courageous acts in antebellum America": the attempted escape of African American slaves on a ship docked at the Southwest waterfront, a ship called the Pearl. This week, Book Club for Kids honors its roots by reprising our one episode featuring a non fiction book: Passenger on the Pearl by Winifred Conkling, taped before a live audience at Virginia's Fall for the Book Festival. Lolita Marie is our celebrity reader. www.bookclubforkids.org...moreCopy Link

Music and learning, singing and goofing.  Enter here for children's songs about dinosaurs and dumplings.  But fair warning, you may be asked to rhyme something with "Cilantro."  If you're comfortable with that possibility then press play on this educational podcast for kids and enjoy. ✪ We begin with a rhyming game.  Freshen up phonological awareness, fine tune your flow and polish your poetry with this edition of Rhyme Time.  Our categories this go round are fancy colors, types of dumplings, herbs, handicrafts and kinds of trucks.  Watch out for the extra hard herbal bonus round! ✪ This week's echo song is about a lonesome dinosaur.  Why won't anyone play with the T. Rex?  Is it because he'll eat them?  This echo song explores themes of h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ dinosaur nature while developing a child's sense of pitch and humor.  It's music for kids that dinosaurs will love too. ✪ We haven't had a vocal jam in a while which means it's time for a vocal jam.  Think of it as an instant a capella group but better because the group is your family and instead of pop songs you're just saying names of dumplings.  This is a great intro to harmony and part singing for kids and is also great as a family singalong.  Learn the parts and perform it next time you're at a dumplings shop!  Great idea! We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!  It's like a music lesson for kids you can listen to during tea time. ✪✪✪ FAMILIES CAN - an Amazon Best Book of the Month - by Dan Saks and Brooke Smart available from Penguin Random House ✪✪✪ http://tinyurl.com/familiescan WAYS TO SHOW NOODLE LOVE: ✪ Join our Patreon to get a show shout out and a handwritten letter!  www.patreon.com/noodleloaf ✪ SUBSCRIBE and/or LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts ✪ Get some Noodle Loaf gear at noodleloaf.threadless.com.     ✪ Want to add your voice to the Noodle Loaf choir?
