Review of Little Stars Bedtime Cards


It took us awhile to review these. It's not that I don't love the idea (cards you show and read to your kids before bed every night that teaches them a lesson and helps them ease into sleep.) I just faced a bit of resistance with doing this the very last part of the day. We traditionally read books, and my guys are so squirmy that I usually drag them straight from the tub to bed with a bit of nagging in between.

The Little Stars Bedtime Cards are phenomenal, however. Each of the 28 cards features a bright illustration of one of the Little Stars characters, as well as a series of discussion questions that help kids go to bed feeling loved and secure. You can either read the cards to your kid in place of a story (keeping them next to the bed and letting your kids pick one off the top -- like a game) or you can opt to slip a card under their pillow, letting them find it (kind of like a gift from the toothfairy.)

The themes presented by the cards are appropriate for all families. The messages say things like, "I like who I am" and "I can do hard things." Surprisingly simple, amazingly effective, and a peaceful way to connect at the end of every day, I think this would make a great routine for busy families who just want to be there for one another before they go to bed!

  1. I loved that my Mom would always let us read in bed before we went to sleep. It was so exciting to read each night.

  2. I remember being tucked in at night by my mom--my dad worked third shift and sometimes wasn't there to tuck me in, but we didn't have any other specific rituals that I remember. My daughter gets to snuggle with Mom and Dad for a little while and usually gets a book or two or ten read to her before we say our prayers and go to bed.

  3. I absolutely LOVED when my dad would tell the story of the 3 billy goats gruff. He did such a great job of using different voices and of really getting into the story. I would laugh so hard every single time.

  4. what a cute idea! I can definitely see these cards falling right in line with our bedtime routine.
    When I was little my Mom would give me my bath (which I hated because she would dump water on my head to you know... clean it! - i have a pretty unnatural fear of water/drowning - wow what a tangent!) but then my dad would come in a tell me a story and then tuck me in really tight bouncing me and the bed up & down all the time both of giggling :) just typing that still brings a smile to my face hehe

  7. What great cards! I always loved being snuggled up on my mom's lap in the rocking chair while she read me books before bed. Now I do the same thing with my two daughters!
