Instructions
1. Give each child a doll or stuffed animal at naptime.
2. Recite the following poem. Very young toddlers may just listen and
older toddlers can do the actions.
Now we lay our babies down (children lay dolls down)
And tuck them into bed. (children cover dolls with blankets)
We give their cheeks a little kiss (children kiss dolls)
And pat their little heads. (children pat dolls)
Now we lay our own heads down
Nearby our little friends. (children lay down, teacher turns off lights)
We close our eyes and rest a while (children close eyes)
And dream 'til naptime ends.
