Our Bedtime Routine: Five Year Old

I see a lot of posts asking about Yoto cards for bedtimes. Yoto has been a game changer for us! Here is how we incorporate Yoto in our five year old's bedtime routine.

  1. Bedtime Timer. (If Jake could record himself announcing bedtime, he would be our hero.)

  2. Bathtime + Sleeptime Radio as a wind-down.

  3. PJs, lavender lotion.

  4. Toothbrushing + Toothbrush Timer on a MYO card.

  5. Storytime! We have been reading short chapter books like Sophie Mouse lately, in addition to her favourite picture books.

  6. Yoto Storytime. Our daughter either picks what she would like to listen to or we do a "surprise" card, where she closes her eyes and we surprise her with a random card. Once she falls asleep, I often switch the Yoto to sleep radio or white noise from my phone.

Favourite Bedtime cards:

  1. Calm It Down

  2. Close Your Eyes

  3. Mermaids and Fairy Dust Meditations

  4. Winnie-the-Pooh

  5. Hotel Flamingo Series

  6. MYO cards with our family members reading stories
