With Christmas fast approaching, parents looking to focus their children’s excess energy may be tempted to turn on their TV, however the festive season could well be the perfect time to encourage their love of books.
This winter, Edinburgh-based couple Rebecca Lundgren and Tom Williams are on a mission to ignite children’s love of stories . In August they launched Voxblock - a new screen free audiobook player for children. With over 100 audiobooks in their collection there’s something for all children aged 3-12.
Rebecca said: "Our ‘lightbulb moment’ was seeing our pre-school daughter totally engrossed whilst listening to my childhood audiobooks on an old cassette player. We soon realised the simplicity of the format was allowing her to become more absorbed in the story, without distractions.
