Short Bedtime Stories (Under 10 Minutes)

Some nights don't have thirty minutes in them. This collection is for those nights — every story is ten minutes or less, but none of them feel rushed. They're structured to still have a real beginning, a small event, and a calm ending, so your child doesn't feel short-changed. Especially useful on school nights, after a late dinner, or when you're travelling and the whole routine has shifted an hour later than usual. Pair with the sleep timer set to fade out at story length + two minutes so the audio ends cleanly.
