Where storybook meets activity class!
Fly to the moon, grow tomatoes, ride on a dragon ... and much more!! All whilst staying warm and dry in the comfort of your living room.
We offer a library of stories and dramatic play sessions for you and your children. We aim to retain the magic of a traditional book via our hand painted watercolour illustrations - whilst bringing them to life with animations and engaging storytelling. The stories are presented by storyteller Helen and actor, Charlie using an interactive video platform and are complete with fun and varied programme of music, movement and drama games.
The stories are designed to
- Connect with your children for special together time (easy, no planning)
or
- Keep children busy, learning & expanding vocabulary while you work
Treat the sessions as you would your favourite books - they are yours to dip in and out of as you wish!
Every session helps build children's vocabulary by immersing them in rich language and allowing them to play with it during the activities. They teach children about the world around them and help develop key listening and communication skills.
Most of all - it's super fun and packed with silliness!
"The tomato bit ... and the vegetables are really funny!" Emily (3 1/2 years old)"
"It's like having a lovely captivating friend in your living room to lift and inspire you!" Jenny, (Mille and Darna's mum)
"I've noticed how much more imaginative my son's games are since we've started doing Animateys and he's always acting out the stories!" Meg (Jai and Dal's mum)

Meet Helen Hooper
Hello, I'm Helen. I'm a storyteller and Early Years drama practitioner. I've been writing children's stories and activities for well over a decade. I've performed the stories thousands of times in live classes, at schools and nurseries. Now, working together with my hugely talented artist mother, and the wonderful actor Charlie Clee, we have created the magical world of Animateys - a world where the magic can come to you when you need it and with the stories of your choice.
Get them busy, active, learning new vocabulary and LIVING stories physically!
When I'm not writing stories, I'm filming them... when I'm not filming them I'd editing them... and, well actually if I'm honest I'm editing them most of the time! It's a lot of work but the most fun work I could possibly imagine!
Other than that I can be found out in the countryside every weekend with my 2 teenage children (if I'm lucky), my husband and my lovely french dog, Garry (who wouldn't miss it for world!)
