STORY DAYTIME,
Look outside when the sun shines high.
See flu y clouds float in the sky.
NIG TTIME
Look outside when the moon is bright.
See stars twinkling through the night.
You sleep at night . . .
Tip » A young child gains a sense of security in the
predictable cycle of night and day. You can reinforce
this comfort by giving your child a regular bedtime.
Wake up, and then . . .
A brand-new day begins again.

Tip » Pretend play is a healthy part of a
child’s development. Take a rocket ride
with your child. No need to run around the
room. Sit down, close your eyes, and fly!

I see stars, too, when I use
my kaleidoscope.
Tip » Telescope, kaleidoscope—what big
words! Say them clearly, with a big smile.
Tots love an occasional “grown-up” word
for their rapidly growing vocabulary.

When I look down, I see the ground,
the rocks, the leaves, the tree’s thick roots,
and squishy mud around my boots.
A N D UP
When I look up, I see the sky,
the clouds, a plane, a tall, tall tree . . .
and Daddy smiling
down at me. :)
Tip » “Up” and “down” look di erent when you’re less than
three feet tall! Place some toys on the floor, others up on
a table or shelf just within your toddler’s reach. “Hunt” for
them together. Reward your child’s success with a big grin!

(A traditional nursery rhyme)
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
Tip » Remember this rhyme from your childhood?
Recite it often, passing it down for your children to
someday tell their own children.
