The Sleepy Bear Club® is a children’s bedtime story and lifestyle brand. Founded on the principles of play well, nap well, Sleepy Bears love the adventure of a naptime.
Club Credo
Members of The Sleepy Bear Club recognize that sleep is an important part of living a balanced life and look forward to this healthy habit. Sleepy Bears understand that naptime is their friend. And like riding a bike is a skill, so is napping. The key to mastering the art of the nap is to improve at exercise. The better you exercise, the better you sleep; the better you sleep, the more energy you have to play. Sleepy Bears always have time for club meetings. (Also known as naptime.) They play outside and fall asleep by dreaming about their adventures. Founded on the principles of play well, nap well, Sleepy Bears love the adventure of a naptime.
Club Principles
Play Well
Have an adventure! Recess. Workout. Run around the block. Playtime definition is up to you. Whether it is unstructured free play or organized exercise, find ways to develop strength, endurance, and flexibility. Climb a tree or lift weights. Run a trail or go for a swim. Touch your toes or reach for the sky.
Nap Well
Find a cozy spot and start your meeting! Have the designated president recite the club commencement, then read your book of choice or describe your adventure of the day. Rest your head, close your eyes, and daydream about your stories until you fall asleep.
Club Commencement
“This meeting’s called to order now here’s what we’re gonna do,
We’ll rest our heads and close our eyes to take a little snooze.
I know our energy abounds so this is what we’ll choose,
We’ll let our brains create the play and dream of how we move!”
