Good Day, Good Night Paper Plate Craft

There’s something so sweet and timeless about making paper plate crafts with my kids. Always classic and perfect for involving little hands, I love making themed crafts to go along with some of our classic bedtime stories. And now we have a new classic book to add to our collection.

From the author of Goodnight Moon, Margaret Wise Brown’s familiar words return in the companion book that your family will love. Good Day, Good Night has had an instant impact on our family’s bedtime stories, so much so that we dug into our timeless crafting supplies to create this inspired Good Day, Good Night Paper Plate Craft. Make your own flippable day to night puppet and be sure to scroll down for a fun giveaway!

Good Day, Good Night, from the author of Goodnight Moon

Goodnight Moon was a pivotal book from my childhood, one that I remember reading with my parents and one that I now cherish as a parent. Those illustrations from illustrator Clement Hurd? Classics! And now 70 years later, Margaret Wise Brown’s wise and sweet words are back in the companion book our childhoods are missing.

Good Day, Good Night is the newest book from Margaret Wise Brown, the unpublished work that is now an instant family treasure. The beautiful illustrations from Loren Long really help to capture the essence of Margaret Wise Brown’s words. Reading this book with my daughter is like revisiting an old friend. Happy, safe, warm, familiar.
