By listening to fairy tales, children not only acquire the necessary knowledge, but also learn to build relationships in society, relating themselves to one or another fictional character. From the experience of relationships between fairy-tale characters, the child understands that one should not unconditionally trust strangers. Our website presents the most famous fairy tales for your children. Choose interesting fairy tales from the table provided.

Why is it useful to read fairy tales?

The various plots of the fairy tale help the child understand that the world around him can be contradictory and quite complex. Listening to the hero's adventures, children virtually encounter injustice, hypocrisy and pain. But this is how the baby learns to value love, honesty, friendship and beauty. Always having a happy ending, fairy tales help the child to be optimistic and resist various kinds of life's troubles.

The entertainment component of fairy tales should not be underestimated. Listening to fascinating stories has many advantages, for example, compared to watching cartoons - there is no threat to the baby's vision. Moreover, by listening to children's fairy tales performed by parents, the baby learns many new words and learns to correctly articulate sounds. The importance of this is difficult to overestimate, because scientists have long proven that nothing affects the future comprehensive development of a child more than early speech development.

What kinds of fairy tales are there for children?

Fairy tales There are different ones: magical – exciting children’s imagination with a riot of imagination; everyday - telling about simple everyday life, in which magic is also possible; about animals - where the leading characters are not people, but various animals so beloved by children. A large number of such fairy tales are presented on our website. Here you can read for free what will be interesting to your baby. Convenient navigation will help make finding the right material quick and simple.

Read the annotations to give the child the right to independently choose a fairy tale, because most modern child psychologists believe that the key to children’s future love of reading lies in the freedom to choose material. We give you and your child unlimited freedom in choosing wonderful children's fairy tales!

Audio fairy tales for children are an excellent assistant for parents who keep up with the times. In order to listen to a fairy tale, just enter a query in the search bar, select and turn on. Fairy tales are available to everyone free of charge.

Modern parents

We know very little about the origins of fairy tales. According to the latest data, anthropologists have found references to fairy tales dating back to the Bronze Age, i.e. many thousands of years ago. But fairy tales in audio format have been developed thanks to high technology. People born in the 20th century may remember radio announcers reading novels, plays and fairy tales aloud. For many Soviet families, this was the only entertainment related to technology.

Today everything has changed. Televisions, computers, audio players and much more have taken root in our lives. And no matter how skeptical the old generation is about these innovations, there are still many undeniable advantages, one of which is the ability to listen to bedtime stories online.

Thanks to the Internet, audio fairy tales have gained popularity online. Therefore, modern parents can easily choose a suitable fairy tale for their children online if they do not have the opportunity or strength to read the work in person. With the development of the Internet, fairy tales from writers around the world are now available, including Russian folk tales, among which you will definitely find your favorite one.

How to choose audio tales?

If you decide to play an audio story for your child at bedtime, then you should not choose the first story you come across. Consider your child's age and personal preferences.

For children aged 3-4 years, fairy tales that the child can easily understand are an excellent option. As a rule, these are short tales (5-10 minutes). They reveal the first knowledge about the world, the relationships between people and animals. They also teach the child to take care of everything that comes his way.

For children aged 4-5 years, the works should be more meaningful. Such tales may contain deception, greed, and malice. Thus, the works show how to treat such manifestations of human nature. Thanks to such negative heroes in fairy tales, the child begins to understand why it is impossible to act one way or another, and from the example of positive heroes he learns how to behave correctly.

Fairy tales for children 6-7 years old should already contain a large amount of information and diversify the child’s development. Choose works of art in which children will also have the opportunity to predict the course of events themselves, which will help develop their thinking. Listening to such fairy tales will help the child adapt more easily to the world around him and teach him to make decisions on his own.

If you choose works according to this principle, then listening to fairy tales for children will always be an interesting and exciting process.

Listening to audio fairy tales for children online for free will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults who keep memories of their childhood in their hearts. Therefore, choose a suitable fairy tale, get comfortable and spend quality time with your child.

With sincere faith in goodness,
Yours.

A TALE ABOUT NUMBERS

Far, far beyond the seas, beyond the forests, there was the kingdom of Mathematics and numbers lived in it. They all lived very far from each other and rarely met...

"UNIT"

Once upon a time there lived in the kingdom of Mathematics Unit. She lived alone - all alone in such a blue palace - a corner

And she had one corner there where there was one table

and one chair, one cabinet in which there was one cup

and one saucer. And I bought one in the store

everything one at a time: one candy, one book, one boot...

Unity was bored by herself and she decided to make friends with someone and Unity went for a walk around the kingdom. Suddenly, a wolf jumped out from behind a tree towards Unity. He was also alone and no one wanted to be friends with him, they thought he was evil. And Unity felt sorry for the wolf, and she invited him to play together. So the one and the wolf became friends and together they recited a poem:

Guys, I'm one!

Very thin, like a knitting needle!

I look a little like a hook

Or maybe on a broken twig.

The account is kept from me

And for this I am honored!

"TWO"

Back in the kingdom of mathematics there lived the number Two. She also lived in her own house, like this:

Her house had two rooms.

Two had a friend, a wise owl, and they loved to play different games. They especially loved games with the number two:

How many ears are there on the top of your head?

How many eyes?

Well, how many arms and legs?

Near Deuce’s house there was a beautiful lake, and swans swam in it. When the couple came to the lake, the swans asked her to tell them a poem: Two looks like swans:

There is a neck and a tail too.

The swan can tell

How do we find out the number two?

"TROIKA"

IN Troika also lived in the Kingdom of Mathematics. She lived in this red palace

Everyone loved her because she was kind and obedient. Her house had three large rooms. Troika's neighbors were three bears. They all lived in love and harmony. Every day Troika treated the little bear with three candies. One day the bears went into the forest to pick mushrooms and invited Troika with them, but she got so carried away that she got lost. Troika looked around and saw a clearing nearby; in the clearing she saw three hedgehogs. The trio treated each hedgehog to a mushroom, and they showed her the way home. At home, the three bears were very happy about Troika and told her a poem:

Oh! Hurry up and take a look!

The number three has appeared!

Three third of icons

Consists of two hooks.

"FOUR"

Another resident of the Kingdom of Mathematics was Four, she lived in such a palace

There were four rooms in the palace. The Hedgehog lived in one room, the Cat lived in another, the Turtle lived in the third, and the owner of the Four herself lived in the fourth. They had fun, sang and danced.

One day, Four told their friends that there are four directions to the world: north, south, east and west, and they wanted to go on a journey. They took four apples, four cookies, four juices with them, boarded a plane and flew north. There was a lot - a lot of snow and polar bears lived there. The four and their friends were very cold and decided to go south. It was hot in the south, unusual birds sang and interesting animals were found there. When our travelers got to the east, they were met by an eastern prince who proudly rode an elephant. And in the west, the Four introduced their friends to cowboys - brave heroes. The travelers were very tired and flew home to the kingdom of Mathematics. At home, Hedgehog, Cat and Turtle composed a poem for the Four:

I have a flag in my hand!

Look quickly, my friend,

How good is he?

Looks like a four!

"FIVE"

Five lived in a beautiful green palace.

She had five rooms. In the biggest

There was a table in the room, there were five chairs around it, and on the table there were five cups and five saucers.

Around the palace where Five lived there was a large orchard. Apple and pear trees grew there. Five's neighbors were Bunny, Hedgehog and Squirrel. Once they asked Five to treat them to fruit, and Five said: “If you count how many apple trees and how many pears grow in the garden, then I will treat you.”

Then Five treated everyone to apples and pears. And Bunny, Hedgehog and Squirrel told her a poem:

The wind inflates the sail,

And the flag plays on the mast.

The wind wants to show

Number five to all the guys!

"SIX"

In the Kingdom of Mathematics there was a Blue Sea. And so near the Blue Sea lived the Six. Here in this blue palace, which had six rooms.

Six had six kittens: the first was white, the second was brave, the third was smart, the fourth was noisy, the fifth had a red tail, and the sixth loved to sleep. The kittens had six bowls from which they drank milk and six baskets in which they slept. Every evening, Six gave the kittens milk and then put them to bed. Let's help the six feed and tuck the naughty kittens.

And when the kittens lay down in their baskets, Six told them a poem: On the fence at the gate

Number six perched:

Like a little snail

There is a curl and horns.

"SEVEN"

In the Kingdom of Mathematics, on the Street of Yellow Dandelions, there lived a seven. She lived in this colorful palace

Seven has been friends with the rainbow for a long time,

and therefore her palace was decorated in seven

colors of the rainbow. There were seven rooms in the palace.

Seven and Rainbow often had fun, black paint was jealous of them and, on her orders, the robbers grabbed Seven and threw him into the dungeon.

To free the Seven you need to answer the following questions:

How many colors are there in a rainbow?

How many days are there in a week?

How many dwarves does Snow White have?

How many kids did the goat have?

Well done! Now Black Paint has freed the number Seven, and for her liberation she will tell you a poem:

The sun is hot,

The heron spreads its wings,

And he will straighten them out completely,

Turns into number seven!

"EIGHT"

This is where the Eight lived in such an unusually beautiful palace.

She was round-faced, ruddy, maybe a little plump,

but she was never upset about it and was always cheerful.

Eight loved cleanliness and often tidied up the eight rooms.

Eight lived on the very edge of the kingdom, where it often snowed, and one day Eight and his friend Spider decided to build a snowman. But for some reason they didn’t succeed except for large lumps of snow. Let's tell Eight and Spider how to make a snowman.

When eight saw the snowman, she thought for a long time what number he reminded her of. The snowman told her a poem:

Eight has two rings

Without beginning and end.

We'll ask Vanka to stand up

Show us the number eight

One circle and two circles

It's just my friend.

« NINE"

Back in the kingdom of Mathematics there lived the number Nine.

She lived in such an unusual palace, in which

there were nine rooms.

One fine sunny day Nine had

birthday, she invited Chanterelle, Magpie, Mouse, Bunny, Hedgehog, Bear, Kitten and Wolf. And Nine did not know how to count and could not accommodate all the guests at the table:

How many chairs should be placed at the table?

How many cups should I put in?

How many pieces should a birthday cake be cut into?

The hostess also prepared a surprise for the guests; she asked them the riddle “What number will nine turn into if it turns over?”

The guests prepared a poem for the birthday girl:

The cat lay down on the ledge,

The fluffy tail hung down.

Kitty, cat, what's up

You look like a nine!

"ZERO and TEN"

IN in the very center of the kingdom lived Zero. He had a very interesting palace

There was not a single corner in this palace; there was nowhere to put a table or chair. In general it was empty. And therefore Zero

became a slacker.

Once the sad Zero was sitting and crying, and at that time

Number One decided to visit the other numbers. And then she came to visit zero, brought a delicious pie and chocolate. One saw that Zero had nothing and invited him to his home. They spent the whole day together, liked each other and decided to get married. But how can it be, they are different numbers, how can they live together? They thought and thought and came up with a common name for themselves, Ten, so that no one could separate them.

Ten invited all the numbers to the wedding. There was a lot of food, all friends came with gifts. This is the poem they gave to the Ten:

Zero had a girlfriend

The one is a laugher.

She joked about zero

And turned it into a top ten!

All the numbers liked being together so much that no one wanted to go home, and they decided to build a big city and call it Tsifland. So they did, and began to live amicably and happily.

Ten smart sisters

Everything has been considered for a long time.

Look, they're standing next to each other

WITH you are already familiar with them.

Fairy tale “Once upon a time there were numbers”

Once upon a time there were numbers. Beautiful, with tails and curves, with straight and inclined sticks, slender and even. Their names were very different: Two, Four, Six and others. The written symbols for designating numbers were numbers: 2, 4, 6...

Numbers lived for themselves, they didn’t bother, but one day the number 5, one of our most beloved numbers, became indignant: “Letters live in the kingdom of the Alphabet, but what is the name of the kingdom in which numbers live?”

- Really, how? - shouted other numbers running up to number 5. And they made such a noise and uproar that the Learned Owl flew in from the forest in response to their loud sounds.

- What's the matter,

- What's that noise?

- And why do numbers

- Boom?

It was explained to the learned Owl that numbers want to know the name of the kingdom to which they belong.

Without hesitation, the Scientist Owl answered:

- The kingdom in which numbers live is called: “The Kingdom of Mathematics.”

The numbers rejoiced. They really liked the beautiful and long name of the kingdom in which they live.

One day, an unpleasant thing happened to the numbers. What happened? We learn about this from a fairy tale.

"Important numbers"
Author of the tale: Iris Review

In the mathematical kingdom, in the arithmetic state, there lived the numbers from 0 to 9. Numbers are like numbers.

Some of them were thin, like 1 and 7. Some were plump and round. These included 0, 9. Some of the numbers had a tail, like 2 and 5, and some had a circle, like 6 and 8.

In general, they were different, unlike each other. Despite this, the numbers were very friendly to each other. They could play four hands on the piano and show the theatrical play “Seven Little Goats.” And if someone studied well, then the numbers pushed the “A” to the forefront. And the two and three stood modestly aside.

But then one day, at a holiday, the letters told the numbers that they were more important. Without letters and words, no one would understand anything. But the numbers took offense and ran away in all directions. And such chaos began!

The letter A, for example, is in first place in the alphabet, the letter D is in fifth place, and the letter Z is in 33rd place. And now, when there are no numbers, it is unclear where to stand. Such confusion!

In the mathematical kingdom, in the arithmetic state, no one could really calculate anything, and panic began.

Then the letters apologized to the numbers, and asked them to continue to perform their digital duties. And everything fell into place.
