The Monster Dance: A Mindful Bedtime Story for Kids
About this episode
In this heartwarming bedtime story, join Sarah as she discovers that the “scary” monsters in her closet—Clyde and Mary—are anything but frightening. All they want is a friend! Through dancing, singing, and one very important snowman, this charming tale teaches kids about kindness, courage, and how being different doesn’t mean being scary.
Hey parents, here are 4 ways to Build Connection at Bedtime:
1) Draw with your child and imagine having pink or blue skin or horns or something different than you have.
2) Stomp your feet and shake your hands as you model the monster dance for your child.
3) Make a plan to go to a place you've never been in search of new friends.
4) Model the horn breathing for your child.
