Tucked In: Sleepy Stories for Kids
Episode 16. Ella the Little Otter and the Evening Air
In tonight’s story, we meet Ella, a playful little otter who’s had a big day full of splashing, sliding, and exploring. But when bedtime arrives, Ella’s body is still wiggly, and her mind is full of thoughts.
With the help of her Mama, the cool evening air, and the quiet music of the river, Ella learns how to slow down, breathe deeply, and let her thoughts float away — like lily pads on the water.
This soft, sensory-friendly story is perfect for children who need a little help calming their busy bodies and minds before bed.
✨ Ideal for ages 3–8
💤 Gentle, mindful, and neurodivergent-inclusive
🌿 Soothing imagery, soft pacing, and emotional safety throughout
