Free Audio and Video Stories for Children
A couple of nice sites for the little ones I seemed to find within days of each other.
First up is Storynory, a free audio podcast providing a new story each week. There are both classic fairy tales and fiction plus newer original (I think) stories, all of which read by Natasha who has a really great voice for storytelling.
I can’t really fault it, the stories are great, they are well read, it’s free, you can grab the feed in iTunes or some other podcatcher and it and stick it on a cd or mp3 player for the car or just listen online. My daughter is a little young for these at the moment but she’ll definitely be listening to them once she can sit still for more than a few seconds.
I might just listen the Alice in Wonderland reading myself. 
Next is Storyline Online, a website from the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.
It features members of the guild reading stories on camera. You can only watch the stories online, with no option to download for portable devices but then they probably work better on a larger screen anyway. They are well read and by some big actors or at least some your children might recognise but not from any British actors as I think it’s an American union organisation.
I don’t like it as much as Storynory probably because of the lack of British voices but there are some decent stories and it might keep a small one entertained for a little while.
Have fun!
