By Nadha - Updated: November 11, 2021

Creating a “My Bedtime Routine” book can help your child understand and follow the steps to get ready for bed. Customize the book to include the steps in your family’s routine.

Routines help children know what to expect and what is expected of them, which is why they help children feel more secure and comfortable.

If going to bed is difficult for your child, creating a routine together and making a “My Bedtime Routine” book can help give them some control over the situation. You can also listen and sing together to a bedtime song, “Bedtime! Bath, brush teeth, PJs, story, and song!” You can even make up your own words for the things you do in your family to get ready for bed.

How to Make a “My Bedtime Routine” Book:

Materials:

Pictures from magazines or photographs of your child

Index cards or paper

Glue, tape, or stapler

Hole punch

Notebook ring, yarn, or string

Crayons or markers

Directions:

1. Have your child cut out pictures from magazines to create a bedtime routine book. You could even make simple drawings of different things children do to get ready for bed, like:

Put toys away
Put on pajamas
Brush teeth
Wash face and hands
Read a story together
Talk about your day
Say prayers
Kiss and hug goodnight

2. Together, you can make a book about your child’s bedtime routine using pictures. Paste or tape the image of the practice to each index card or piece of paper. Your child can color the card, and you can add words, as well.

3. Punch a hole in the corner of each sheet so they can be held together with a notebook ring, yarn, or string to make this your child’s personalized bedtime book.

Making a personalized rhyme can help your kid too. One can try and test what works for your kid. So, get set to craft with your child to make a bedtime routine!
