What could make bedtime a little more relaxing and memorable? Shadow puppets, of course. These woodland animals are featured in our song “Beddy-Bye Butterfly”, which you can enjoy at bedtime as a song, a video and an interactive storybook in the Super Simple App. Follow along with the song and shine your flashlight to create these shadow puppets one by one. Beddy-bye, Butterfly.

Lyrics:
High above the forest
in the night sky.
The stars are shining brightly,
time for beddy-bye.
Star flew down to Owl,
who hooted and said,
“Let’s say good night to all our friends
and put them all to bed.”
Beddy-bye, butterfly
tuck into your flower.
Dream butterfly dreams
‘till the morning hour.
Beddy-bye, baby bear
lay down in your den,
until the sun rises
and it’s morning again.
Beddy-bye, bunny rabbit
close your eyes and dream
of all the games tomorrow
we will play by the stream.
Beddy-bye, little squirrel
curl up in your nest.
You gathered acorns all day long
and now it’s time to rest.
Beddy-bye, slith’ry snake
curl up nice and tight.
We’ll meet again tomorrow
in the early morning light.
Beddy-bye, tiny turtle
rest inside your shell.
Slowly you will fall asleep.
We hope that you sleep well.
Beddy-bye, friendly frog.
Let’s not make a sound.
In the morning you will ribbit
and hop all around.
Beddy-bye, little bird.
Though the night seems long,
soon it will be morning
and we’ll wake to your song.
Now we’ve said good night
to our friends near and far.
Beddy-bye to you, Owl.
Beddy-bye to you, Star.
