Planning a Twinkling Star Party

by takingthemoney

A Twinkling Star Party inspired by the song “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is fun for pre-school age children and younger.  They’ll enjoy a star-themed party because of the familiar tune, easy recognizable shape, and fun activities.

Decorate the party area with stars.  Dangle them from the ceiling and tape them on the walls.  Hang up strands of lights with blinkers around the party area.  Use a yellow, gold, or silver tablecloth.  If you can find one that shimmers, use that to make the table sparkle.

When the guests arrive, give them star-shaped sunglasses.  Use glitter face paint to make twinkling stars on your guests’ faces or arms.  While children wait for all children to receive star art, they can make telescopes using paper towel tubes.  They can decorate the tube with star stickers.  When they’re finished with their telescopes, give them a pre-cut star and a Popsicle stick.  Let them glue the star to the stick to make a star wand.

While holding their star wands, help them sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” They also may want to recite “Starlight, Star Bright.”  Then give each child a unique star and help them find its identical match, which you will have hidden in the party are
