Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a beautiful English lullaby written by Jane Taylor. It was first time published in 1806. So it has been sung by kids' beds for generations. Keep this tradition alive, and sing it for YOUR kids (as they hopefully will sing it for their kids again...)
But let's focus on tonight! Enjoy this beautiful lullaby - but be aware so you don`t fall asleep yourself...
Tip: Why not learn more about the stars? They are so fascinating and exciting! Bring the kids to a place a little away from the light of the city on a night with clear sky. Try to lay down on the ground and study the stars. Can you see the asterisms? We recommend that you have a look in a star atlas/star chart before going out. And remember to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Litte Star before, after or while watching the sky! :)
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Lyrics
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!
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark.
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep.
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
