Not everyone remembers their dreams but if the children are old enough to tell you about their dream it might be fun to create a dream log with words and or pictures.
Children who have scary dreams may be helped by reading There’s a Nightmare in my Closet by Mercer Mayer, Jessica and the Wolf by Ted Lobby, Bebe’s Bad Dream by G. Brian Karas, or The Berenstain Bears and the Bad Dream by Stan and Jan Berenstain.

Is there a train nearby that you could take a short ride on or watch go by? You could visit the Fredericksburg train station.
There are many children’s books about trains – The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper is a charming story with an important message. Check hereto learn more
