Terrific Twos: Sleepytime

With this week's activities, your terrific two-year old will no longer dread bedtime!  Make sleepytime fun with these calming, yet entertaining rhymes and stories.  Share reading together during bathtime or while cuddling with a favorite toy to help your child enjoy quiet time. For children to become skilled readers, acquiring general knowledge, such as the elements of bedtime, is essential.  Word knowledge then becomes easier for them to grasp and makes it easier for the child to understand and remember what they learn.  

Three Birds Rhyme
We are three birds who sing a song,
And we sing and sing the whole day long.
But when night comes and it’s time to rest,
We go to sleep in our cozy, little nest.

We are three birds who sing a song,
And we sing and sing the whole day long.
But when night comes and it’s time to rest,
We go to sleep in our cozy, little nest.
