What worked well for us was taking away toys and priviledges the next day.

3.5-4 yr old girl. She would get out of bed every night and either come out into the living room or try to crawl in bed with us in the middle of the night.

When she got out of bed while we were still awake, we would put her back in bed and tell her that if she did it again, we would take away one of the stuffed animals she slept with. We kept our word. She was not happy to lose her 'snugglies' for the night. Every time she got up, she lost another 'toy'.

We also worked on taking stuff away the next day. It is kind of a positive/negative thing depending on how you look at it. We would tell her that if she stayed in bed she could watch TV the following morning or night. Of course, if she got out of bed then TV priviledges would be taken away.

It must have worked because she has not got out of bed in months. I think they also grow out of it.
