10 Creative Ways to Make Storytime Magical for Your Child

Story time is more than books it’s bonding, laughter, and imagination! If bedtime feels routine, here are 10 fun ways to make story time magical:

1. Use silly voices for different characters.

2. Let your child guess what happens next.

3. Snuggle up with a flashlight under a blanket.

4. Add sound effects (who doesn’t love a dramatic BOOM!).

5. Re-enact scenes with stuffed animals.

6. Switch roles let your child read to you.

7. Draw a picture of the story afterward.

8. Turn pages slowly, noticing the little details in illustrations.

9. Act out emotions together giggle, gasp, pretend to cry.
