  The student will then try making the bed themselves, applying what they learned from the demonstration. Encourage them to take their time and think about each step.

• Creative Touch

  Once the bed is made, allow the student to personalize it with decorative pillows or a bedspread. This activity encourages creativity and makes the bed feel more inviting.
