Audio bedtime stories for children 🌙 listen online for free
- Are you here:
- audio fairy tales
- For the night
A distinctive feature of bedtime stories is their short duration and happy ending. A happy ending is very important in children's bedtime stories, because if, for example, a child listens to the story The Steadfast Tin Soldier, at the end of which the main characters burn in the fireplace, he will be very worried about them and will not sleep well. Therefore, this section contains only good bedtime stories for children, which you can listen to online for free in good quality MP3 without stopping.
For newborns instead of bedtime stories, listen to white noise.
Below are several playlists with thematically selected fairy tales.
1) Bedtime stories from Banilaska the clown
Below are bedtime stories from Banilaska, a funny clown who tells stories to children. It has many different stories, but here you can listen to tales from the "Before bed" section. Voiced by the beauty, athlete and Komsomol member Natalya Varley.
Suitable for children 2-5 years old.
2) Russian folk tales
These time-tested Russian folk tales have been listened to before bed for many generations. They do not lose their relevance even now, because the topic of relationships has no statute of limitations. The stories are sorted by length from shortest to longest. Suitable for children from 2 to 7 years old.
3) Chukovsky's short bedtime stories
According to parents, children love certain Chukovsky's audio stories. They are ready to listen to them every day, for example Confusion or Aibolit. Suitable for children 2-4 years old.
4) "Deniska's stories" by Dragunsky for schoolchildren of grades 1-5
Surprisingly interesting stories from the life of the boy Denis Korablev will not only help you enjoy listening to, but also give an educational effect, it is for this that Dragunsky's works are valued. Only a part of the stories - the most popular ones - are presented here. All 60 stories can be heard in the audiobook "Deniska's Stories".
5) Children's songs for the night
Below you can listen to children's songs for the night. Suitable for children from 2 to 7 years old, as well as adults who are nostalgic for childhood;)
For more bedtime songs for babies, see Baby Lullabies.
6) Other fairy tales and bedtime stories
No need to explain what audio bedtime stories are for, because many modern parents in their childhood fell asleep to Russian folk audio fairy tales on Soviet records. By the way, now, despite the abundance of modern sleepy tales and cartoons, the most popular are still works of the 18th-20th centuries.
On this page you can listen to good sleep stories, short, long (but not too long), for the little ones - for toddlers, for preschool children up to 7 years old, for other ages 3,4,5 and 6 years old, as well as for older kids 8, 9and 10 years. As a rule, fairy tales are voiced by professional actors in order to completely immerse children in the atmosphere of a fairy tale.
A little less often, the text is read by the authors themselves, for example, Korney Chukovsky, who voices his audiobooks very expressively and with soul. For those guys who will not have enough of one fairy tale - you can put several fairy tales at once without a break.
We wish you and your children a pleasant good sleep!)

What could be more pleasant and cozy than a kind and wise evening fairy tale? Audio fairy tales for children presented on our website will give the children a good mood and sweet dreams.
A bedtime story is not just entertainment
Going to bed is not the most pleasant moment for a child. How many times have our parents had to listen to “I don’t want to sleep” and “one more minute”?
And we still have so much to hear, now from our children.
..
Such behavior is often caused by emotional stress. A long busy day, serious workloads at school - all this has an exciting effect on the child.
Parents will be helped by short bedtime stories, which you can listen to every evening, turning getting ready for bed into a pleasant procedure.
A fairy tale will help your child relax before going to bed and create a magical atmosphere in the bedroom. Reading fairy tales are important moments of close communication between the child and the parent, strengthening his trust and affection. Joint listening to audio fairy tales is one of the facets of such communication.
Audio fairy tales in addition to reading
Audio recordings of your favorite fairy tales will be a great addition to your daily reading ritual. Listening to a fairy tale you like again, this time performed by professional actors, is a real pleasure for a child.
You can listen to your favorite bedtime stories on your own, when parents are busy and do not have the opportunity to read to their child before bed.
The quiet sound of a familiar work has a calming effect on little listeners, carefully enveloping them in sweet dreams.
What stories should you listen to before going to bed?
Wishing good night to their child, mom and dad try to create all the conditions for the baby's dreams to be good. Based on this, audio fairy tales for children intended for evening listening must meet the following requirements:
- Calm and simple plot.
- Absence of tense and frightening moments.
- High quality voice acting and soft, pleasant voices of the actors.
- Soothing, quiet musical accompaniment.
What we are glad to offer you
Our website contains audio recordings intended for toddlers and children of school age. Here you will find audio fairy tales, which you can listen to before going to bed. They are the perfect end to a long day.
The following categories of audio fairy tales are offered to the attention of young listeners:
- works of Russian writers;
- fairy tales by foreign authors;
- records of oral folk art.
The choice of a fairy tale largely depends on the age of the child. For the little ones, good short fairy tales by Vladimir Suteev with skillfully executed illustrations are good, as well as the works of Gennady Tsyferov, Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak, Korney Chukovsky.
Audio fairy tales for children, based on the works of Mikhail Plyatskovsky, Hans Christian Andersen, Sergey Kozlov, and also based on folk tales, are perfect for older preschoolers.
Children over 6 years old will be interested in the fairy tales of Gianni Rodari, Astrid Lindgren, masterpieces of Alexander Pushkin.
The best fairy tale given to me by my mother
Audio fairy tale for the night is a great addition to reading and a help to tired parents. However, it should be remembered that the main condition for the emotional balance of the child is your close communication with him.
Combine listening to fiction with discussion of its plot, live reading aloud and just confidential conversations - it's a hundred times more useful and effective than just listening to fairy tales online, and certainly nothing compared to watching cartoons before bed.
