Sleep on It

Kideko Children’s Bedding

When it comes to getting your toddlers to sleep, tactics disguised as games are key. (“Let’s play Who Can Keep Their Eyes Closed the Longest followed by a round of Statue!”)

But when it comes to getting them actually into bed, no clever ideas are necessary. All you need is the right bait: Kideko’s jazzy bedding.

The sets, which include a 250-thread-count quilt cover and pillowcase, come in five kid-approved patterns — like the mirror-and comb-adorned Beauty for the ladies and green-creature-clad Monster for the gents. Our fave is the bright yellow Sunshine, covered in big gray words: surfing, kittens, and rock & roll.

An additional lure: Kideko’s matching accessories collection of laundry bags, posters, and height charts in the same patterns.

Everything is so fun, kids will beg for bedtime.

And that’s the name of the game.
