She runs it all by herself
My 3 year old picks a card, drops it on and dances. No tablet, no asking me to find the show. It's her favorite thing in the playroom.

Road trip saver
Six hours to my parents' place and not one request for the iPad. We packed a stack of cards and he worked through them himself.

I recorded myself reading his favorite story
I live two states away. Now he presses the button and hears me. His mom says he plays it every night before bed.

Christmas morning, zero setup
Our son unwrapped it, we dropped in the first card and it played. No app, no Wi-Fi password, nothing. Best gift under the tree.

So many cards
96 cards is a lot of variety. The fables and the classical ones surprised me. He asks for the same fable every single day.

Came on vacation with us
Charged it before the flight and it kept her busy most of the way. The cards fit in the little pouch.

Kept her happy at a long dinner
Brought it to my sister's wedding dinner and it saved the kids' table. One star off only because she wants even more princess stories.

Lives on the bookshelf now
It sits next to her picture books and she picks a story card at nap time on her own.

Read the manual first
Took us a day to figure out the record button. Once we did, the kids loved recording their own songs.
Good to know
Before you press play.
Does it need Wi-Fi, an app or an account?
No. Everything plays from the player itself. Drop a card on top and it starts, at home, in the car or on a plane.
What age is it for?
Ages 3 and up. The big buttons and drop-on cards are simple enough for most 3 year olds to use on their own. Younger siblings should play with an adult nearby.
What's on the 96 cards?
27 kids' songs, 16 classical music pieces, 10 growing-up stories, 10 explore-the-world stories, 9 picture-book stories, 8 nursery rhymes, 8 Aesop's fables and 8 fairy tales. Each card plays one song or story.
How does recording work?
Storyhorn has a record button and a built-in mic, so you can record your own voice and play it back. A bedtime story in Grandma's voice is a favorite. The steps are in the included manual.
How long does the battery last?
About 4 hours of play per charge. It charges with the included USB-C cable. Add the wall plug if you don't have one handy.
What comes free with my order?
Every order includes the story-time set: a velvet card pouch, 100 glow-in-the-dark stars and 500 record stickers, worth $25. It's added to your cart automatically and is free at checkout.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Orders ship within 2 days and arrive 7 to 10 days after you order. The dates under the Add to the toy box button show the estimate for today's order.
What if it stops working or isn't right for us?
You're covered twice. Our 30-day money-back guarantee lets you send it back for a full refund. And if it stops working within a year, email a short video to support@ventrafinds.com and we'll send a replacement, no return needed.
Can I pick two different colors?
Yes. Choose 2 Storyhorns and pick the second color right under the options.

30-day money-back guarantee
If it doesn't become their favorite toy, you pay nothing.
Try Storyhorn for 30 days. If it isn't right for your family, send it back for a full refund. If it stops working within a year, we send a new one.
Ships in 2 days. Arrives 7 to 10 days after you order.
