Symbolic stars

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen those symbols that look like stars on flags or on some logos? Those are called symbolic stars!

Now, sometimes these stars have different meanings depending on where they are and what they look like. For example, some people might use a five-pointed star to represent each finger on their hand or to symbolize the different elements like earth, fire, water, air, and spirit.

Other times, they might use a six-pointed star to represent things like balance or unity. And sometimes, these stars are even used in different religions or cultures.

Overall, these stars are just symbols that people use to represent and communicate different ideas and meanings in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Does that make sense, little one?
