Since the Maji (Wise Men) studied the stars in the sky and they discovered a very bright and different star shining I thought it would be neat for us to study the stars as well.
Here are a few star facts:
Stars are huge balls of gas in outer space. The twinkling stars that you see in the night sky are actually very far away from the earth. The Sun is also a star, but is much closer to Earth. Stars come in different sizes. Some are smaller than our sun while some are so big that our son looks like a dot in comparison to them. You can click here for a great website for kids to learn more about the different sizes and colors of stars. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the stars to click on.

If the children have been sitting for a little bit make sure to have them stand up to sing this song. It will help them to move their bodies around so that they will be able to sit and listen to the story with a more focused attention span. Here is the video for Go Tell It On The Mountain so you can watch it ahead of time to be able to sing it with your children or you can push play and your children can sing along. Sing it several times!

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!

Sing, Go Tell it on the Mountain!
