Activities: 

Bend and Stretch

Bend and stretch, reach for the stars!

There goes Jupiter, here comes Mars!

Bend and stretch, and reach for the sky!

Stand on tip-e-toe, up so high!

Going to the Moon

Zoom, zoom, zoom,

I'm going to the moon!

Who would like to take a trip,

Upon my magic rocket ship?

Blast-off! 

Stretching Song

(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Everybody reach up high,

Stretching, stretching to the sky.

Swaying left and swaying right,

Blinking in the sky at night.

Everybody reach up high,

Stretching, stretching to the sky.

Crafts: 

Night Sky Picture

Give kids a piece of dark blue or black paper several star and moon shapes. Let them glue the shapes onto the paper. You can use Accucuts: "Star #1" (large star), "Star Mini" (small stars), "Moon #1 H-6" or "Moon #2 H-7". 

Sparkly Night Picture

Similar to above, but shinier. Start with a piece of black paper. Let kids stick on shiny star stickers and other shiny materials. Glitter glue, white or bright metallic crayons, gold or silver metallic ink pens, holographic type wrapping paper, and sequins also work well for this craft.
