9. Spot the Flying Flower

After a full day of fun, you sit down with your family, looking at the night sky full of stars. Fireflies came along to join the party- twinkling, blinking, winking at you as they pass by. Among those fireflies, there are three magical flying flowers. If you spot them and whisper your wishes, your wish might come true!

Do this activity before bed and let your child whisper a wish before they sleep. If they are having a nightmare, you and your child can wish away the nightmare together!
