Making Bedtime Music to Their Ears

Getting little ones to switch off their screens, put on their pyjamas and brush their teeth without a nightly negotiation can feel like a parenting achievement in itself. But what if bedtime became something they actually looked forward to?

Meet Beautiful Bedtime and Beautiful Lullabies, two albums from the much-loved Beautiful Creatures collection, created by Alan Glass and Ed Jordan, alongside talented singers, musicians and the Beautiful Creatures kids choir.

Designed to bring a little music and magic to the end of the day, these albums turn familiar bedtime rituals into something children can enjoy. With playful songs such as ‘Splish, Splosh, Splash’, ‘Put Your PJ’s On’ and ‘Tooth the Brush’, Beautiful Bedtime helps make getting ready for bed part of the fun, taking little ones through the familiar steps of settling down for the night. Story time and the gentle transition towards sleep complete the routine.

Then comes Beautiful Lullabies, bringing a softer, more soothing mood to those final moments before lights out. It is an invitation to slow things down, leave the day’s excitement behind and create a calmer environment for a good night’s rest.

For parents, the appeal is simple. A familiar playlist can help establish a consistent bedtime routine, encourage children to engage with everyday habits and offer an enjoyable alternative to screens as the evening winds down. No promises of instant bedtime miracles, of course, but a little musical encouragement can go a long way. And the best part? Beautiful Creatures always incorporates cross-cultural languages and musical influences for the truly South African child.

Bedtime doesn’t have to be a battle. All it takes is the right song to help make the transition from playtime to dreamtime a happier experience for the whole family.
