Storypillar

July’s Full Episode: Sticks and Stones (Spain)
Story: Magda is just…so…BORED! And her boring-as-a-rock (in her opinion) older brother isn’t helping. Good thing their neighbor is “not a witch.” (Even though she probably is.) Either way, there’s nothing like a magic quest full of glitter caves, enraged lions, and enchanted birds to make sitting still without melting from boredom a breeze.
Region: Spain
Sticky Situation: What do you do when you’re feeling bored and impatient?
Unstick Tricks by: Valentina (Age 7) and Hudson (Age 10)
Feelings Focus: Coping with boredom; shifting focus; sitting with feelings
For Our Long-time Storypillar Friends: Today’s episode might sound familiar. That’s because we’ve learned a lot over the past four years and decided to give some of our favorite episodes a fresh sound. We hope you enjoy this brand-sparkling new version…we made it just for YOU! ❤️
We need jokes for our Summertime is Joke Time Special! 🏖️😂
Email your child's silly joke to info@storypillar.com with their first name, age, and city by Friday, 7/17/26, and we'll pop it in.
