Story

Eardrops was created by Liz Donnelly, Children's Media Specialist and mother of 3, with a team of educators.

The Eardrops audio stories are in use in thousands of homes, preschools, inflight on Air New Zealand - they are a unique way to help your child learn everyday sounds and develop good listening skills.

There are 9 Eardrops stories (3 in English, 3 in Te Reo Māori and 3 bilingual English + Te Reo Māori) and all provide fun learning for 1-6+ year olds. They are "wonderful, unique and effective" according to Professor Michael Beverland.

Please visit www.eardrops.co.nz for full information, plus a blog full of resources.

This Facebook page is designed to provide children's media information, parenting support and humour - along with the world's cutest bunnies.

Thank you for your interest. Please get in touch with me anytime if you have a particular kids media topic you'd like information about or want me to comment or advise.
