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.

Both the babies and older children alike that I work with love this resource. Some shimmery floaty material and some yellow felt stars are all it takes!

The babies or older children lie underneath. The parents gather around on their knees and all hold a piece of the shimmery see through material. The stars are placed on top of the material so as the parents lift the material up and down while singing the song the children can see the stars moving.

Perfect at the end of a session. This activity also helps develop language skills as well as number skills as the children can also count the stars. Each time one falls off as you sing the song you can count them again.

Some children prefer to be on the outside holding on with the parents which is totally fine too.

Fun for all.
