Write at Home
- Create a constellation by drawing stars on a piece of paper and having your child connect them to make a shape. Have your child name it and write a story about it
- Fold a piece of paper in half. On one side have your child draw things they see in the sky during the day. On the other side have them draw things they see in the night sky
- Cut out paper squares and have your child write each letter of their name on a square. Tape them together on top of each other to spell your child's name. Put a triangle on top to make a name rocket
- Try ABC Tracing, a free app little ones can use to trace their letters (Apple | Android)
- Sing or read the poem "Star Light, Star Bright"
Star Light, Star Bright
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish
I wish tonight.
