"Sleep Over at the Library"


We had a terrific time at our library "sleep over." Before we tucked our cuddly friends into bed we had a bedtime storytime. Some things we did: we made a graph about what we do to get ready for bed, we played some bedtime games, rocked our cuddly friends to sleep, and did a special dance so that they would have good dreams. I don't know about our cuddly friends, but we were exhausted!
The next morning we returned to pick up our cuddly friends from their sleepover and to share breakfast.
