When my father-in-law comes to visit, each kid fights over him at bedtime because he creates marvelous stories while brushing their teeth! All centered around the character, Thomas J. Tooth, these stories have been told since my husband was little, and it’s a wonderful family tradition that helps ease the tension at bedtime too.
With most grandkids living far away, the stories couldn’t happen often — until now! I randomly bought a podcast microphone last year, and when Grandma and Grandpa came to visit a few months later, I knew it was meant for this project. Grandpa Ekman took the microphone home with him, and has been recording the stories for us all to enjoy!
The Podcast
So, without further delay, we introduce The Brilliant Adventures of Thomas J. Tooth! Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or directly online at Anchor.
Turn on a quick episode while your kids are brushing their teeth, and it will keep them distracted and entertained. It also works like a toothbrush timer, where they can’t stop brushing until the end of the story.
Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast to be notified of new episodes!
Listen Anytime
We kept the podcast episodes a secret from the other grandkids and siblings, and gifted this QR code sheet in their Christmas cards to share our fun family project. We laminated the sheet at 1/4 sheet size and hung it in the bathroom, so the kids can use whatever device is nearby to listen to Thomas J. Tooth’s next big adventure when we send them to get ready for bed.
