Fairy tales

Fairy tales are essential stories for childhood!

Fairy tales provide ways for children to receive important messages, help a young child make sense of what it is to be human and understand the world around them. Although there are some that are unrealistic, the overall effect is positive and offers fundamental elements for our littles ones' development.

Fairy tales teach children how to deal with basic human conflicts, desires, and relationships in a healthy way; acquiring these skills can ultimately impact a child’s health, quality of life, or even influence its values and beliefs in the future.

In “Alex’n’Friends” you will find our selection of the best and most popular fables (at one point or another you would have heard of at least one of Aesop’s fables!) and fairy tales from different cultures, narrated in English. Stories that have been read and taught from generation to generation, from brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen to Aesop’s life lessons!

We have created a rendition through pictures, storytelling and music dedicated with a lot of love to our little Alexander, but also to all the little ones who learn their first classic Aesop’s fables and fairy tales.

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” - Albert Einstein

A child learns a lot by simply listening to these amazing stories. They do not only captivate the imagination of young minds, but also enhance their creativity and reasoning skills.

Parents reading stories to their children also creates a special parent-child bond!

If you wish to read yourself the fairy tale to your toddlers, we have created for you a PDF file to download and print with only pictures and text. This will also help our young English-language students.

Inspiring kids stories

Stories and fairy tales offer children a wonderful way to explore imagination, emotions, and learning. At alexandfriends.gr, we have gathered carefully selected story suggestions for caregivers, educators, and parents of young children.

Through storytelling, children develop listening skills, language abilities, emotional awareness, and imagination. Stories help children understand the world around them while creating moments of calm, comfort, and meaningful connection with adults.

Stories that have morals and messages behind them are always powerful! These stories will inspire your children, and will build the right value system in them, so that they become righteous human beings in the future.

These story suggestions can be used:

• before bedtime

• during group storytelling time

• as a starting point for discussion and creative activities

• as part of a daily routine

They are a valuable resource for both home and educational settings, nurturing a love for books and storytelling from an early age.
