A complete guide to calmer days, better sleep and healthier imagination**
Screens are everywhere in children’s daily lives. Many parents are now searching for alternatives that stimulate creativity, support emotional balance and encourage independence — without the overstimulation of digital displays.
That’s where screen-free audio players for kids come in.
Brands like Yoto, Tonies, and Lunii helped popularize the concept.
Fabli, designed in Québec, takes it to another level.
What is a children’s audio player or storytelling device?
A screen-free audio player is a device that allows children to listen to stories, music, soundscapes and educational games without any visual interface.
No lights, no animations, no distractions.
Just sound, imagination and natural focus.
Different brands use different approaches:
• Yoto uses audio cards and a modern radio-style interface.
• Tonies relies on a storybox with magnetic figurines.
• Lunii presents itself as an interactive storytelling device.
Fabli blends these strengths and adds something unique:
a screen-free audio platform + interactive game platform that grows with the child.
At what age can kids use a screen-free audio player?
Before birth
The fetus reacts to sound from 16 weeks. Fabli can be used to create early emotional sound patterns during pregnancy.
From age 2
Toddlers can operate a child-friendly audio player on their own.
Between 4 and 8 years old
They discover more interactive content:
- mini-adventures,
- educational games,
- sound explorations,
- guided meditations.
Up to 10 years old
The device becomes a daily companion: concentration, autonomy, evening rituals…
What are the benefits of a screenless audio player?
Language development
Stories enrich vocabulary and strengthen listening comprehension.
Imagination unleashed
Without imposed images, the child constructs their own mental universe.
Calm and serenity
Music, sounds and guided breathing promote a return to calm and sleep.
Autonomy
Like Yoto or Tonies, Fabli promotes autonomy.
But Fabli adds a key element: interactive stories and games, which develop emotional, social and cognitive skills as well as self-confidence.
Why choose an eco-designed audio player?
A durable object conveys essential values:
- Reduction of screen exposure,
- Respect for the environment,
- learning to be slow and attentive,
- the importance of repair rather than replacement.
Unlike many market options produced abroad, the Fabli is designed and assembled in Quebec, Canada and offers a refurbishment program.
Fabli: the only screen-free audio platform that stimulates all forms of a child's intelligence
Unlike traditional story boxes, Fabli incorporates a true screen-free educational game platform:
Logic games, memory games, rhythm games, attention challenges, musical discoveries, basic math concepts, language games…
Thanks to this variety, Fabli activates almost all forms of intelligence identified by Howard Gardner, one of the most influential thinkers in developmental psychology.
Here's how:
• Linguistic intelligence
Rich stories, dialogues, vocabulary games, nursery rhymes…
→ Development of language, listening comprehension and storytelling.
• Logical-mathematical intelligence
Logic games, sound sequences, auditory puzzles, age-appropriate mathematical challenges.
→ Construction of reasoning, pattern detection, analytical thinking.
• Musical intelligence
Music, rhythms, musical learning games, exploration of sounds.
→ Sense of rhythm, auditory discrimination, musical creativity.
• Spatial intelligence
Games that require mentally visualizing positions, trajectories, and sound patterns.
→ Development of the ability to represent space and to mentally manipulate images.
• Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
Games to be done while moving: jumping at the sound of a signal, dancing, imitating a gesture, changing posture.
→ Motor coordination, body awareness, expression through movement.
• Interpersonal intelligence
Stories that develop empathy, cooperative games, emotional scenarios.
→ Understanding intentions, recognizing emotions.
• Intrapersonal intelligence
Meditations, guided breathing exercises, calming exercises, introspective questions adapted for children.
→ Self-awareness, emotion management, emotional autonomy.
Fabli doesn't just tell stories. She develops the child's brain in all its dimensions — without ever using a screen.
Fabli: the screen-free audio and game platform designed in Québec
Fabli is not just a storyteller.

- screen-free educational games,
