Getting the bedroom ready for bedtime

Every bedtime routine is different, some kids have baths every night, some brush their teeth in the kitchen while some in the bathroom, some like to read a book on their own, some curled up with their mums or dads. Some run around burning off energy, while others, oh no, maybe they all do that.

But usually, the bedroom is the place where it all happens. The lights are on, or the curtains are open, and lights out is still some time away.
