'My Special Comforter': EYFS/KS1 Bedtime Sleep Hygiene Activity (Sleep Resources)

ET-224-EP 'My Special Comforter' EYFS KS1 Bedtime Sleep Hygiene Activity by Exciting Teacher

Most children have a special comforter, teddy bear, or blanket to help them go to sleep at night. This activity allows them to draw their special item and write a sentence explaining why it is special to them.

Lots of people sleep with a special teddy, blanket, or comforter. This helps people to fall asleep. Draw a picture of your comforter below then write a sentence about why it is special to you. If you don’t have a special comforter, instead draw a special toy.

  • To support understanding of how sleep impacts on our body and mind.
  • To promote healthy sleep hygiene routines and daily practice.
