How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's introduce our stuffed animal to your child. Hold it gently and say 'This is our friend! Can you give them a gentle hug?'

  2. 2

    Now let's tuck our friend in for a nap. Show your child how to use the blanket to cover the stuffed animal. Say 'Our friend is sleepy. Let's make them cozy with this blanket.'

  3. 3

    Our friend might be thirsty after that nap. Let's offer a pretend drink. Hold up the toy bottle or cup and say 'Would you like a drink? Can you give our friend a sip?'

  4. 4

    Let's give our friend some gentle pats to help them feel loved. Show your child how to pat the stuffed animal's back softly. Say 'Gentle pats make our friend feel happy.'
