Stoopkid Stories x Dorktales Storytime Mashup

Stoopkid Crew! Happy Almost Summer!Another bonus episode is here! This time I collabed with Dorktales Storytime Podcast! I had such a fun time playing "Rapunzel" on this episode called: Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Science Experiment?Question everything!” That’s Rapunzel’s motto. The princess from Mythdom breaks all fairy tale stereotypes when she tells the story that her time in the tower was for scientific innovation and experimentation. Her patented, three-step, hair strengthening system could win her a STEM scholarship! Can she shimmy down the tower’s trellis and make her way through the peat bog path to get to the science fair in time? If you enjoyed this episode please give Dorktales Storytime some love on their feed and join their podsquad.StoopGrownups, if you would like to tell me what you and your family are up to this summer, give me a shout at melly@stoopkidstories.comSupport the show
