Make a moon for your child to say goodnight to, even if they don't have a window or the moon isn't out. Paint a cardboard circle or paper plate with a mix of six parts shaving cream and one part glue. Sprinkle the plate with white or silver glitter.
Have your child look through old magazines to find pictures of some of the items in the book. For example, he could find a picture of a red balloon, three little bears in chairs, a clock, some socks or even mittens. Have him cut out the pictures and glue them to a piece of paper in any order he wants.
Walk around with your child in your arms while you help her point out, and say goodnight to, items in her room. This is a comforting bedtime ritual that calms, quiets and helps teach first words, observational skills and object recognition.
Make a memory game using items from the book. Have two pictures of each item. Lay them face down in between you and your child. Allow your child to look at two pictures. If they match, he takes them, and if they don't, the pieces are placed back where they were, face down. Play continues to the next person, who does the same thing. When all pieces are gone, the person with the most matches wins.
Hide items from the book around the house and have your child find them all to win a special prize.
