MGA Entertainment has released new Little Tikes Story Dream Machine books featuring characters from Paramount, Dreamworks, The Jim Henson Co., and The Pinkfong Co.
There are 10 new tales for the fall and holiday season, showcasing Paramount’s PAW Patrol franchise, Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon brand, The Pinkfong Company’s Baby Shark, and The Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock.
Kids (or parents) can choose a story that features their favorite character, insert it into the retro-style projector, and follow along as the story progresses. Little ones can listen along, read the pages, and watch the light effects. The machine also doubles as a white noise nightlight.
“With new stories from some of the biggest names in children’s entertainment, we predict Story Dream Machine’s expanded story packs will take over Christmas stockings and top wishlists this year,” Isaac Larian, Founder and CEO of MGA Entertainment, says. “Featured on the U.S. Walmart 2024 Top Toys List, the Little Tikes Story Dream Machine is loved by both parents and kids for its multi-faceted features, unique educational experience and portability. We see this toy as a timeless classic in the making that families will introduce to their kids for generations to come.”
Families can add “How to Start a Dragon Academy,” “How to Pick Your Dragon,” and “How to Raise Three Dragons,” along with a Toothless figure. Baby Shark’s music can continue at bedtime with the PingFong Baby Shark Family Collection, which includes stories and songs like “Home Sweet Home,” “Family Bath Time,” and “Shipwreck Scare.”
Kids can also use the Story Dream Machine to read “The Fraggle Countdown,” “What’s a Fraggle?,” and “Wembley Fraggle’s Big, Bigger, Biggest.” For those who frequently watch PAW Patrol, stories like “All-Star Pups,” “Save the School Bus,” and “Puppy Dance Party” could be a great fit. Both sets of stories come with a character figure, such as Gobo Fraggle or Chase.
The collections are available now. While these stories are new for the fall and holiday seasons, kids can still choose between collections featuring iconic Little Golden Books characters, friends from Sesame Street, and more.
