For the evenings you actually want to remember

1Some nights you have the energy for a big adventure. Some nights you just want ten quiet minutes before bed. SHAPLABOO works for both.

2Turn off the lights, click on a flashlight, and the story does the rest — no screens, nothing to plan, nothing to prep.

3The paper is thick enough that little hands can't tear it, even when they try. So you don't have to hover.

4Too tired to read out loud? Every story has an audiobook waiting behind a QR code on the page. Narrated by an actor, not by you — for once.

A gift they'll actually open twice

1If you're picking this for someone else's kid, here's what matters: it's not another toy that gets forgotten by the weekend.

2The Premium Set comes in a black-and-gold box heavy enough to feel special before it's even opened — the kind people don't throw away.

3No batteries are included, on purpose. A phone flashlight works just fine, so there’s nothing extra to buy, charge, or explain.

4With 20+ stories in the collection, there's likely one that fits exactly who you're buying for.

“I never buy things I see advertised on FB, too many of them are scams. But this one? This one I’m glad I took a chance on. Everything is really nice quality. I’m especially impressed by the puppets themselves. I know my kids and I are going to thoroughly enjoy these and I can’t wait to give it to them in a few weeks!”

— Marina, verified buyer, Online Shop

Questions, answered

What age is this for?

2 to 9 years old. The sweet spot is 3 to 6, when kids can’t read yet and need a grown-up to bring the story to life.

What’s it made of? Will it survive a toddler?

Thick, 450gsm black paper — sturdy enough that it’s genuinely hard to tear, even on purpose.

Do I need to buy a flashlight?

No. Any flashlight works, including the one on your phone.

Will my kid get bored of it?

Every book ends with a blank scene — no characters, just the setting. Kids fill it in themselves, differently every time.

Ready for tonight's story?

Pick a tale, grab a flashlight, and turn off the lights.
