Our Free Printable Story Pack: Make Tonight's Story Together

Not every bedtime needs an app. Sometimes the most magical thing is a pencil, a piece of paper and a child explaining what kind of animal should be in tonight's story. That's why we made the Once Upon Today story pack — five printable pages, completely free.

Inside you'll find ten bedtime questions to open up the day gently, a story planner where your child picks the hero, the place and the feeling, and a sample story to show how a wobbly moment becomes a calm ending. Print it once and keep it by the bed.

Families tell us the planner page is the sneaky-good one: it turns story-making into a little ritual of its own. Your child draws the animal hero, chooses where the story happens, and circles the feeling to explore — and suddenly they're the author, not just the listener.

You can download the pack right from our home page, or find it on the About page along with the ten bedtime questions sheet. And when you're ready for a full story — pages, narration and a keepsake to keep — Once Upon Today is waiting
