  • Can you think of a time when you explored something new or went on an adventure? How did it make you feel, and what did you see?
  • Why do you think it’s important to remember that you are unique and loved? How can you show love and kindness to others around you?
  1. Starry Eyes Craft: Create a craft that represents how special and unique your eyes are. Use paper plates, markers, and stickers to make a pair of “starry eyes.” Decorate them with stars, hearts, and anything that makes you feel happy and special. Once finished, share your creation with the class and talk about what makes your eyes unique and how they help you see the world.

  2. Adventure Walk: Go on a short walk around your school or neighborhood. Use your “magic eyes” to spot things you haven’t noticed before. Look for different colors, shapes, and animals. After the walk, draw a picture of your favorite thing you saw and share it with the class. Discuss how your eyes help you explore and learn new things every day.

  3. Dream Big Drawing: Think about something you dream of doing in the future. It could be anything, like becoming an astronaut, a teacher, or a superhero. Draw a picture of yourself achieving that dream. Use your imagination and remember that your eyes can help you see all the possibilities. Share your drawing with the class and talk about how your dreams make you feel excited and happy.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How’s everyone doing today? Have you been reading lots of books on your own? Did you read anything interesting? I hope you’ve been good to your parents and being super kind.

Thank you for taking the time to sit down and read with us. Today, we have a book called “With Eyes Like Yours” by Laurie Van Der Broek. Let’s have a look!

On the day you were born, it was love at first sight. Your eyes, how they sparkled and lit up the night. I instantly knew that the world would be better with someone like you.

With eyes like yours that shine with such grace and twinkle like magic on that lovely face, if you look really close, you can see what I see: that you can be anything that you choose to be.

Laugh till you cry, dance till you fall down, dress up like a superhero, rock star, or clown. Bark like a dog or sing like a bird; with eyes like yours, you’re sure to be heard.

The world is your oyster; it’s yours to explore. With eyes like yours, why ask for more? Skip through the fields or run through the trees; with eyes like yours, you can do as you please.

No dream is too big, no idea too small; with eyes like yours, you can conquer it all. No ocean too deep, no mountain too high; with eyes like yours, it’s as if you could fly.

Travel the world, enjoy every day; with eyes like yours, nothing gets in your way. Go out in the world, spread your love and your grace; adventures are waiting all over the place.

[Applause]

Your world is an awesome, spectacular place, so set your sights high like a rocket in space. Reach for the stars, swing high for the sky; with eyes like yours, the world won’t pass you by.

Be proud of yourself and trust who you are; with eyes like yours, you’re my biggest star. Sometimes you feel all alone and afraid, but trust that my love for you will never fade.

So, my brave little child, so lively and smart, the key to the world is held in your heart. You are unique; there is only one you. With eyes like yours, I know this is true.

You can see the world’s beauty and happiness too; with eyes like yours, the world’s joy follows you. My love is all around you; know that’s true.

With eyes like yours, you are perfectly you.

That was quite lovely, right? That’s how much your parents love you, and they love you so much every day, forever. I know that because I love my boys so much.
