Where bedtime becomes an adventure
Birchwood Tales is a small brand built on a simple idea — that the best part of childhood is having a companion who takes you somewhere magical before you fall asleep.
What is Birchwood Tales?
Birchwood Tales is a children's brand that combines physical plush companions with a library of original audio bedtime stories. Each animal in our collection ships with a built-in Bluetooth speaker — so when a parent presses play, the story comes to life through the bear sitting right there in their child's arms.
Our first character is Tommy the Bear — a soft, huggable companion with a speaker tucked inside. Tommy's library is full of original stories: gentle adventures, silly characters, and peaceful endings designed to help little ones wind down and drift off to sleep.
Why we built this
Screens at bedtime are a battle most parents know well. We wanted to give kids something tactile and cozy — a stuffed animal they love — while still delivering the magic of a great story. No tablets, no glowing screens. Just a bear, a voice, and a story worth listening to.
Every story in the Birchwood library is original, written and produced specifically for bedtime. They're the right length (5–12 minutes), the right pace, and the right kind of calm.
What's coming
Tommy is just the beginning. We're building a whole world of Birchwood characters — each with their own personality, their own stories, and their own corner of the forest. New stories are added to Tommy's library every week, and new friends are on their way.
