Milo Gets Ready For Bed: A Story About a Bedtime Routine, Calming Down, and Sleep
Bedtime isn’t always smooth sailing, especially for toddlers and preschoolers who still feel wide awake.
In this story, Milo the Monkey isn’t ready for sleep just yet. He splashes in the bath, stomps around in his dinosaur pajamas, brushes his teeth, and snuggles up for storytime. Step by step, his body slows down until finally his eyes close and he drifts into dreams.
This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:
See how a bedtime routine helps the body wind down
Find comfort in repeated steps like bath, pajamas, brushing teeth, and books
Learn the simple “why” behind sleep: resting muscles, growing strong, and having energy for tomorrow
Notice what it feels like to get sleepy: a calmer body, a tiny yawn, slower blinks
If your evenings sometimes include “But I’m not tired yet!” this story can help bedtime feel calmer.
