Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 

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 
 
When the blazing sun is gone 
When he nothing shines upon 
Then you show your little light 
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star 
How I wonder what you are 

 

Activity

Make Your Own Rocket! 

Cut a paper plate, cardstock, or construction paper into the shape of a rocket. Have children decorate their rocket with markers, crayons, or paint. You can staple or tape streamers (ribbons and pieces of fabric work too!) to the bottom. This project is inspired by the rocket craft at Toddler Approved.
