Free audio plays and audio books
Parents can easily create their own audio plays with children by developing a simple story, setting it to music using everyday objects (e.g. water to make it gurgle, foil to make it crackle) and recording the voices with a smartphone or tablet.
TIP
Radio plays and music for children can be borrowed from Offenbach City Library. The service is free of charge for children and young people up to the age of 18.
