Hi there! Let’s talk about something magical in the night sky. Have you ever looked up and seen a star twinkling? It’s like a tiny light shining just for you!
Stars are like glowing balls in the sky. They are very, very far away, but they shine so brightly that we can see them from Earth. They look like little diamonds sparkling up high!
When we see a star twinkling, it feels like it’s dancing in the sky. We can sing a fun song about it:
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.”
Stars watch over us as we sleep. They help us have sweet dreams. When you see a star, you can make a wish and imagine all the wonderful things you want to dream about!
As we get sleepy, the stars keep twinkling. They say good night to us with their golden lights. So, when you go to bed, you can say:
“Good night, little star,
How I wonder what you are.”
Did you know that stars come in different colors? Some are blue, some are red, and some are yellow, just like the sun! Each star is special and unique, just like you!
Next time you see a star, remember how amazing it is and how it lights up the night just for you. Sweet dreams!
Starry Night Art: Create your own night sky! Use black or dark blue paper as your background. Provide children with star stickers or cut-out shapes in different colors. Encourage them to place the stars on their paper, imagining how they twinkle in the sky. Ask them to think about what their stars might be doing or saying as they twinkle. Once finished, have them share their artwork and describe their night sky to the class.
Star Gazing Adventure: Plan a simple star-gazing activity. If possible, take the children outside at night or use a darkened room with glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling. Ask them to observe the stars and notice if they see any twinkling. Encourage them to make a wish on a star and share what they wished for. Discuss how stars might look different in various parts of the world.
Colorful Star Experiment: Teach children about the different colors of stars. Use colored cellophane or transparent colored paper to look through and see how it changes the color of light. Have them imagine what it would be like if stars were those colors. Ask questions like, “What if the sun was blue? How would that change our day?” Encourage them to think about how each color makes them feel.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

“Mommy, look up!
Oh, isn’t that beautiful? It’s twinkling.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
What do you think it is? A baby diamond?
Gold dust?
Twinkle, twinkle, baby star,
Shining brightly, there you are.
We just love your golden lights,
Shining down throughout the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, baby star,
Shining brightly, there you are.
[Music]
You’re getting sleepy.
Twinkle, twinkle, glowing bright,
Dancing through the sky tonight.
Watching over as we sleep,
In our beds, we dream so deep.
Twinkle, twinkle, glowing bright,
Dancing through the sky tonight.
[Music]
Would you look at that?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
At night we say,
[Music]
Dazzling us throughout the night.
Now we’re drifting off,
Happy dreams.
[Music]
Twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Good night,
Good night, baby star.
