How to turn a bedtime story or your kid's made-up story into a short scene

Pick one scene from the story, say who is there and what they do, and Spark makes a calm video of up to 15 seconds. You can add your child’s drawing for the characters.

What you need

• An iPhone with Rift.
• One scene from a story you know, or one your child invents.
• Optional: a photo of your child’s drawing.

Step by step

1. Ask your child what the best part is.
2. Tell Spark who is there, where, and what happens.
3. Add the drawing if there is one.
4. Check the Draft and tap Make after seeing the price.
5. Watch it together from your Library.

Lines to try with Spark

• “A small purple dragon curls up on a mossy hill under a huge moon, fireflies drifting, soft and slow.”
• “A fox in a yellow raincoat sails a paper boat down a puddle river, gentle rain.”
• “A sleepy bear reads a tiny book by a candle in a cosy cave.”
• “My daughter’s drawing of a rainbow cat walks across a cloud.”
• “My son and our dog ride a sleepy whale through a starry sky.”

Tips

• Use their words. The odd details are the best ones.
• Keep it gentle. Slow motion and soft light suit bedtime.
• One scene per video.
• Let your child choose what happens next.
