I'm cold inside and full of treats. Look where the milk and butter keep! | The fridge
At night you rest your sleepy head on me. Lift me up and you will see! | Under a pillow
I fill with water, warm and deep, for bubbles, ducks and getting clean. | The bathtub
You wear us on your feet each day. Look inside before you play! | Inside a shoe
I spin your clothes round and round. Look in my door and a clue is found! | The washing machine
I hold your stories, big and small. Check the books along the wall. | The bookshelf
Before you come in through the door, you wipe your feet on me, not the floor. | The doormat
Sit on me to watch TV. Lift my soft seats and you will see! | Under the sofa cushions
Forks and spoons all sleep in a row. Pull me open, there they go! | The cutlery drawer
Push my buttons, change the show. Where I'm resting, you should know! | By the TV remote
Morning and night I help teeth shine. Look by the sink where brushes line. | By the toothbrushes
When it's cold I keep you warm. Look where I hang, safe from the storm. | The coat hooks
