Actually, Mozart did not write the tune. It was a French tune that was very popular. He did, however, write about 12 variations based on the tune. Even better, there is an entire musical teaching method which uses "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" as a foundation to teach musical performance in violin, piano, and almost any other musical instrument, and that is the Suzuki method (which incorporates several of Mozart's more advanced compositions). Since the tune is familiar the world over, the Suzuki method can be applied in any country. "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is also referring to a timeless nursery rhyme, and the alphabet letters fit the tune as well. My guess is some clever English teacher borrowed the French tune and made it work for use with singing with small children.

It is proven by psychologists that a young child has the ability to remember certain things such as: ABCs, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as long as it has the same tune. Therfore, it has the same tune, to help develop in a young child a sense of how to remember by certain patterns wheter it is sung or said.

Children love certain tunes. If they know a tune it is easy for them to change the words. Then they only have to learn one new thing at a time. We often take the same tune and change the words to teach new concepts. People have been doing it forever. Look at some of the famous U.S. patriot songs. Plus, there are tunes that are not copy righted so I don't have to pay for their usage. And, If I'm no goo at creating my own tune, it is easier to stick with a classic. Yo can't go wrong.

The familiarity of the tune makes it easier for the child to learn.

It is a simple, which makes it easy for children to master them (as long as they have already heard one before).
Memorizing stuff can be hard for anyone, so if the tune is the same, it is one less thing you have to cram in your head!

Maybe a musician can answer this one more intelligently, but I think it's "catchy", my kids make up songs to this tune ALL the time.

Because they are all forms of a tune written by Mozart. (Maybe they are the same form, I'm not exactly sure).

The tune was written by Mozart. Maybe it's easier for babies to learn through a simple, familar and comforting melody. Dunno.
