Have you ever wondered where animals sleep? Let’s find out!
A beaver doesn’t sleep in a bed like you do. It sleeps on a special platform inside its home called a lodge. The lodge is built above the water, and the entrance is underwater. This helps keep the beaver safe from animals like foxes.
A polar bear doesn’t sleep in a bed either. It sleeps on the snowy ground. Brrr, that sounds cold, but polar bears have thick fur to keep them warm!
Bumblebees have different sleeping spots. One bee might sleep inside a flower. When the sun rises, it flies away. Another bee might sleep on a bed of wax in a tree hole. Some bees sleep on a bed of gray paper in a hive.
Horses are a bit different. They can sleep standing up! They don’t need a bed at all.
Some dogs are lucky and have special beds made just for them. People often buy these beds for their dogs, but dogs can’t make their own beds.
People sleep in all kinds of beds! Babies might sleep in baskets or cribs. As they grow, they might sleep in bigger beds like futons or bunk beds. Grown-ups have lots of choices too, like double beds, hammocks, or sleeping bags. Beds can be high, low, soft, hard, little, or big!
Think about your bed. Is it soft or hard? Is it big or small? It’s fun to know that everyone has a special place to sleep!

Build a Beaver Lodge: Use blocks, sticks, or even pillows to create your own beaver lodge. Remember, the entrance should be underwater! Imagine you are a beaver and think about why this type of home keeps you safe. Share your creation and explain how it works to someone at home.
Sleepy Time Story: With the help of a grown-up, read a story about an animal and where it sleeps. After the story, discuss why the animal’s sleeping place is perfect for it. What makes it safe and comfortable? Try to think of other animals and imagine where they might sleep.

Does a beaver sleep in a bed? No way! A beaver sleeps on a platform inside its lodge. The platform is above the water, and the entrance is underwater so that enemies, such as foxes, cannot get in.
Does a polar bear sleep in a bed? What a silly idea! A polar bear does not sleep in a bed; it sleeps on the snowy ground.
Does a bumblebee sleep in a bed? Not exactly. Bees sleep in different places. This bee is sleeping in a flower. When the sun comes up in the morning, it will fly away. This bee is sleeping on a bed of wax in a hole in a tree. This bee is sleeping on a bed of gray paper in a hive.
Does a horse sleep in a bed? No, a horse sleeps standing up; it doesn’t need a bed.
Does a dog sleep in a bed? Some dogs do sleep in beds. Many people have special dog beds for their dogs, but dogs cannot build their own beds.
All animals sleep, but only people sleep in different kinds of beds. Some tiny babies sleep in baskets, some sleep on papoose boards, and bigger babies and toddlers sleep in cribs. When a child is old enough, then it’s time for a grown-up bed. Children sleep in all kinds of beds: futons, bunk beds, single beds.
So do grown-ups: double beds, hammocks, sleeping bags. People have high beds, low beds, soft beds, hard beds, little beds, and big beds.
What kind of bed do you sleep in?
