Once upon a time, there was a baby lamb who loved to sleep. Before bedtime, baby lamb would gather all his toys and put them away neatly. Then, he would hop into his cozy bed to rest after a fun day.
Baby lamb’s mommy would come to tuck him in. She would listen to his little wishes and whisper, “I love you,” while giving him lots of kisses. This made baby lamb feel very happy and loved.
With his favorite blanket and teddy bear, baby lamb would click off the light. He snuggled up tight under the covers, feeling warm and safe.
As baby lamb’s eyes grew heavy, he would fall fast asleep. In his dreams, he would see colorful rainbows and fluffy sheep. It was a magical dreamland just for him.
The night was quiet, except for a little yawn here and there. Baby lamb dreamed of soft, fluffy clouds and sunshine on the green lawn. It was a perfect night for sweet dreams.
Every night, baby lamb would drift off to sleep with a smile, ready for new adventures in dreamland. Sweet dreams, baby lamb!
Bedtime Routine Chart: Create a bedtime routine chart with your child. Use pictures or drawings to represent each step, like putting away toys, brushing teeth, and snuggling with a favorite blanket. Encourage your child to follow this routine every night, just like the baby lamb. Ask them, “What is your favorite part of getting ready for bed?”
Dreamland Drawing: After reading about the baby lamb’s dreamland, invite your child to draw their own dreamland. What would they see in their dreams? Rainbows, fluffy clouds, or maybe something else? Discuss with them, “What makes your dreamland special?” Display their artwork in their room to inspire sweet dreams.
Goodnight Wishes: Encourage your child to share their own goodnight wishes with a family member or a stuffed animal. They can whisper a wish or a kind word, just like baby lamb’s mommy. Ask them, “How do you feel when someone says goodnight to you?” This activity helps them express love and feel connected at bedtime.
