Moon Phases are a wonderful thing to learn. I don’t ever remember being taught about the different phases of the moon. I remember learning about Neil Armstrong and how cool it must have been to walk on the moon. I wasn’t alive when that incredible moment took place, but I can only imagine after reading through all the stories and seeing all of the pictures how miraculous that moment in time must have been. I hope my children got as much out of reading Neil Armstrong’s biography as I did.
I recommend all of the Who Was Series books by Roberta Edwards they are great books. Now let’s get to the really fun part and that’s learning the Moon Phases.

What a great way to learn about the phrases of the moon. I love this hands-on approach to learning .Thanks for sharing.
I can’t find anything free to download at the Montessori link provided, for the cards or chart. Do they no longer offer them or can you update this with the direct link to the section of the page?
The other blog changed their pages, but I did fix the link 🙂 Enjoy!
Awesome post! Thank you for linking up with The Natural Homeschool! 🙂
Enjoyed your solar system action packed and educational journey! Thank you for sharing your resources! Will be doing and definitely blogging your great post!
What a cute craft! We incorporate phases of the moon in our daily calendar work although I will admit it is hard to keep up! My sons are obsessed with pretending to be the earth and moon. I always get to be the sun. Thanks for linking up at the Virtual Sharing Fair. ~ Marnie
That’s actually a great idea, pretending to be the Earth, Sun… I’m adding that to our plans for the Solar System. Thanks 🙂
biscuits=cookies, sorry!
Very cool activities! My three year old was just asking about the moon phases last night, so maybe the oreo activity would be helpful for him. Although it may just go over his head 🙂 I would love it if you shared this on my blog hop today! http://teachingmama.org/ Thanks!
Shared it, Thank you. My 4 year old enjoyed it, however at 3 he might just want to eat the cookies. hehe
I don’t recall EVER learning the moon phases either! My sons and I spent some time learning about it this last year and did the Oreo thing! They loved it! We painted with shaving cream, it was so fun! I’m a homeschooling mama to 6, 4 and 2 year old boys with a girl arriving any day (I’m actually 2 days past my due date!)
Thanks for visiting, this was a fun unit for sure :)Congrats on your new baby
That looks so much fun! I love the cookies idea!
Thank you so much, it was a lot of fun 🙂
