Hello my friend,

It's time to get cozy under your blankets,

Take a deep breath in and out.

Tonight we are visiting Dinosaur Valley,

Where gentle dinosaurs are getting ready to rest.

Let's start by wiggling our toes,

Just like tiny triceratops digging in soft sandy ground.

Wiggle your toes,

Feel them stretch and move.

Now let them relax,

Sinking softly into your cozy blanket.

Next,

Let's move our little dinosaur legs.

Bend your knees,

Stretch your legs out.

Stomp softly like a friendly bronchosaurus walking through tall trees.

And now,

Let your legs rest,

Heavy and calm.

Time to wriggle your dinosaur tail,

Not your real tail,

Just your hips.

Sway side to side,

Feel the gentle stretch.

And now,

Let your tail rest,

Soft and still.

Bring your arms up like little pterodactyl wings.

Flap slowly,

Reaching to the sky.

And now,

Let your wings rest gently by your sides.

Scrunch your shoulders like a tiny stegosaurus.

Up,

Up,

Up.

And let them back down again.

Feel them soft and calm.

Now take a big dino yawn,

Stretch your neck like a bronchosaurus reaching for leaves.

And now,

Let your neck rest softly on your pillow.

Finally,

Let your head sink into that pillow,

Soft,

Warm and safe.

Your whole dinosaur body is calm.

Toes,

Legs,

Tails,

Wings,

Shoulders,

Neck.

Everything is quiet in Dinosaur Valley.

Finally,

The gentle dinosaurs are dreaming.

And now it's time for you to dream too.

Tonight,

In your dream,

You will find yourself walking along a sparkling river in Dinosaur Valley.

The moonlight glows softly on the trees,

And tiny fireflies dance around you.

A friendly little velociraptor appears and nudges your hand with a gentle nuzzle.

Come explore with me,

It whispers.

Together,

You wander through fields of giant ferns and flowers that smell like sweet honey.

You meet a sleepy triceratops who yawns and waves hello,

And a gentle bronchosaurus reaching for moonlit leaves.

You feel safe and cozy,

Walking slowly,

Laughing softly,

And discovering quiet,

Magical places only dinosaurs know.

As you stroll,

The stars twinkle above,

And a soft breeze brushes your face.

You find a little hidden clearing with soft grass,

Perfect for resting.

Your velociraptor friend curls up beside you,

And soon,

All of the dinosaurs start to drift into dreams,

Just like you.

Good night,

My friend.

Meet your Teacher
