Craft: Day and night plate (paper plate, yellow crayon, dark blue crayon, star stickers), with a grown-up. Snack: Owl Toast (swap: Bread → gluten-free bread; Peanut butter → sunflower seed butter), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/owl-toast. Outside: Call "Day!" and everyone runs and plays; call "Night!" and everyone lies down still, eyes closed.
This week: night and day
A night-and-day week for twos to fours: the sun and the moon, who is awake at night, and bedtime.
Our letter is N: N is for night.
Our song is “Brahms' Lullaby”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: Not Yet, Ted, Sit, Tap, Nap, Dad Naps, The Moon Follows Me. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
Brahms' Lullaby
Lullaby, and good night, with roses bedight, With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed. Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed, Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed.
Johannes Brahms, 1868; public domain.
Ask your child about…

- Ask your child what is on the night side of their plate.
