Hi there! I’m Hoagie. Sometimes, when the wind and rain make loud noises, I feel a little scared. Do you ever feel that way too? I was worried that maybe a ghost would come, and I couldn’t fall asleep. But then I had an idea!
I thought about sleeping next to my friend Pink. But I was worried Pink might think I’m a scaredy cat. Then, I saw my friend Ollie. Ollie wasn’t sleeping either!
“Did you come because you’re scared?” Ollie asked.
“No,” I said, but I felt better with Ollie there.
Ollie and I decided to make a special place where we wouldn’t feel scared. We called it a “Sweet Dreams Fort.” Do you want to know how we made it?
First, we found a cute little chair and a snuggly blanket. We pushed and pulled until everything was just right. Then, we turned on some twinkly lights. Our Sweet Dreams Fort was ready!
We went inside our fort. It was so cozy! We even wore cute nightcaps. The twinkly lights made everything feel magical. We weren’t scared anymore!
Ollie and I were ready to sleep. We said, “Good night!” and wished each other sweet dreams.
Do you want to make your own Sweet Dreams Fort? You can use chairs, blankets, and maybe some twinkly lights too. It’s a fun way to feel safe and cozy!

Build Your Own Fort: Gather some chairs, blankets, and pillows at home. Ask an adult to help you find a safe spot to build your fort. Once it’s ready, invite a family member or a friend to join you inside. Talk about how you feel when you’re in your fort. Does it make you feel cozy and safe? What other things could you add to make it even more special?
Twinkly Light Hunt: Go on a hunt around your house to find different sources of light. Look for lamps, flashlights, or even fairy lights. With the help of an adult, try turning them on and off to see how they change the way a room feels. Which lights make you feel the most comfortable? Can you use them in your fort?
Feelings and Friends: Think about a time when you felt scared or worried. Draw a picture of yourself and a friend who helped you feel better. Share your drawing with your class or family and talk about how friends can help us feel safe and happy. What are some ways you can be a good friend to someone who might be feeling scared?

Hi, I’m Hoagie.
I’m feeling a bit scared; the sound of the wind and rain is unsettling. What if a ghost appears?
I can’t sleep because I’m scared. Can you hear that? I can’t fall asleep.
It’s the sound of the wind.
It won’t be scary if I sleep next to Pink. But what if Pink calls me a scaredy cat?
That’s it!
Oh, Ollie, you’re not sleeping?
I suddenly missed you.
Did you come because you’re scared?
No.
What about now?
It’s not scary at all.
What about now?
Alright, I’m going to eat.
I’m scarier!
Oh, not scary.
Let’s make a sweet dreams fort! If we sleep in there, it won’t be scary at all.
How do you make that?
Here, follow me.
Push, push, push! My cute little chair. Cozy, cozy, cozy! My snuggly blanket.
Twinkle, twinkle, turn the lights on. My own sweet dreams fort is complete!
Wow, let’s go inside, Ollie.
Okay.
The lights go out; I’m scared. I can’t see anything.
Hold on, I’ll make it better.
I’m so cozy! These nightcaps are so cute; I want your hat too!
Twinkle, twinkle!
Me too, Ollie. Should we sleep now?
Yeah.
Good night!
Good night, Ollie. Sweet dreams!
