For a minimal amount of money you can buy a laser projector that will cast constellations on the ceiling, and it's bad to the bone.

Also cheap but cool: NASA logo vinyl wall sticker.

I'm not sure what you're doing the rest of the time, but this makes me think you're pretty damned good at parenting.

Didn't think of that and just happen to have a short throw laser projector in the closet. I could create a playlist of ever changing scenes. I guess I could download full res images from NASA?

James Webb posts most of its images online.

There are a lot of other telescopes that NASA runs that also share to the public.

Secondly, while stick on stars are great. Glow in the dark paint is better, small dots done to look like the night sky on her birthday strikes me as a winning idea. Stellarium and a lot of other applications out there to help you with the time and star placement.

If you want to hide the stars you can get just the pigment powder on ebay or such and mix it with the wall/celing paint color already there.

I second the idea of the James Webb photos. The images are free and I got them professionally printed for reasonably cheap. They look awesome as a pair or 3-piece.
