Maple Leaf Legends | Autumn Stories for Kids

Send voice or text msg

As soon as the leaves fall, you’ll find the Folktale Forest hedgehogs collecting and turning them into maple leaf medals. They award them to the trees for their exemplary service to the land and its critters. Now, Jonathan and Mr. Redge are adding to this honored tradition by celebrating the unique talents of all their forest friends. Come and hear their razzle-dazzling awards show with dancing trios, wonderful wordsmiths, astonishing acrobats, and one famous rooster who cockadoodle-doesn’t miss a beat!    

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: Our lore stories take kids into our fantastical storytelling world of Once Upon a Time lands and characters to inspire their imaginations to explore and create. This story’s theme is about honoring nature, honoring our friends and family, and sharing your own unique talents.

GROWNUPS: Dorktales Storytime is more than a Kids and family stories for kids podcast. Every visit to our Once Upon a Time world invites kids to discover reimagined fairy tales, fables, Greek myths, mysteries, fantasy adventures, pirate adventures, bedtime stories, Halloween stories, dinosaur stories, spy adventures, and inspiring stories about historical figures and STEAM pioneers.
