Ages: 3 months - 2 years
Discuss
- Ask the child about their favorite pajama. What does it look like, how does it feel, is it new/old?
- Look at the progression in book as the animals get ready for bedtime. Ask the child to give you their bedtime routine.
- Have the child complete the rhyming sentences and for your early readers, see if they can read and recognize their sight words.
- Talk about the word format on the last page. The words go from a large font to a very small font. What does that mean? Take a second to also look at the punctuation on this page. Notice how the sentence ends with the big font compared to how it ends with the smaller font. This is a good example of how to use exclamation marks.
- This book is a fantastic read for any and every night of the week. But take one night to actually have a pj party like they have in the book. Maybe put on some music and dance as they do in the book.
- Do a flashlight hunt. Have the children look for something that starts with a specific letter/sound using a flashlight.
- Day/Night sorting game. You can use this worksheet or you can print out your own clipart and glue them to index cards for sorting. You could also check out this free Day and Night unit PDF.
- Have fun with a sand art lightbox. This website shows you how to build your own!
- Check out this interactive map that shows where it is daylight when you have darkness.
- For the younger students, draw different pajamas on card stock with a variety of colors and designs. Separate the top from bottom and have the child find the two that go together. You could also make duplicates so that the child can sort the pajamas by more than one factor (color, shapes, design, size, old/new).
