MAGICAL STORYTIME, PERSONALISED MESSAGES & POSITIVE SCREEN TIME FOR KIDS Start Your 7-Day Free Trial Today Elfmonn Storytime Magic brings magical storytime for kids to life with Chuck the Elf, combining children's stories, interactive experiences and personalised moments. Featuring immersive AR Storytime, Listen Only Storytime, Task & Reward, and Today's News for kids, our Storytime Magic gives families a fun and meaningful alternative to endless videos, repetitive games, and passive screen time. ■ IMMERSIVE AR STORYTIME FOR KIDS Bring storytime to life with magical Augmented Reality experiences. Chuck appears through a magical portal and reads stories directly to your child from his enchanted storybook, creating an experience that feels far more engaging than other storybook apps or videos. Children can see themselves alongside Chuck as stories unfold, making every storytime session feel magical, memorable, and interactive. Story categories include: • Short Stories up to 15 minutes • Epic Tales from 15 to 60+ minutes • Legends & Learning – True Tales & Timeless Fables ■ LISTEN ONLY STORYTIME FOR KIDS Enjoy magical storytime without AR. Listen Only mode lets children enjoy Chuck's storytelling without the AR experience, making it ideal for calmer moments throughout the day — including bedtime, quiet time or screen downtime. ■ WATCH ON YOUR SMART TV Enjoy the full Storytime Magic experience on your Smart TV. With Apple AirPlay, iPhone and iPad users can mirror the experience to compatible TVs and streaming devices. Using an Android or Google TV? You can still enjoy Storytime Magic on the big screen. If AirPlay isn't built into your TV, simply open the Google Play Store on your TV and install a compatible AirPlay or screen-mirroring app. Once installed, you can mirror your iPhone or iPad to your TV. It's that simple. Families can enjoy stories, Task & Reward, Today's News and other experiences together on the big screen. ■ TASK & REWARD MAGIC WITH CHUCK Turn everyday routines into magical moments. Parents can create personalised tasks for Chuck to present directly to their child. Whether it's tidying a bedroom, practising piano, or mowing the lawn, children can build positive daily habits as Chuck transforms everyday responsibilities into engaging missions. As Chuck talks through the task, the child's name and task appear in his enchanted book, creating a personalised experience that captures their attention and encourages participation. Parents can use AR Storytime and other experiences as rewards after tasks are completed, helping make routines feel more positive, structured, and enjoyable. ■ TODAY'S NEWS – PERSONAL MESSAGES FROM CHUCK Create personalised daily messages for Chuck to deliver directly to your child. Whether it's asking how their day at school went, celebrating a birthday, recognising an achievement, or offering encouragement, Chuck becomes a familiar character in their daily routine. ■ DESIGNED FOR MODERN FAMILY LIFE Looking for a more meaningful way for children to spend time on screens? Storytime Magic provides engaging experiences built around imagination, stories, creativity, and positive habits — entertainment children enjoy and parents can feel good about. ■ MAKE CHUCK'S WORLD YOUR OWN Add family photos that your child can discover inside Chuck's Cottage, bringing a familiar piece of home into his magical world. ■ ELFMONN STORYTIME MAGIC FEATURES • AR Storytime Experiences for Kids • Listen Only Storytime Mode • Children's Story Library • Smart TV Casting Support • Today's News Personalised Messages with Chuck • Task & Reward Activities with Chuck • Fairytales, Adventure Stories & More Download Elfmonn Storytime Magic today and discover a more magical way for children to enjoy stories, adventures, and screen time you can feel good about.
