Checkout how we made this interactive moon phase chart! This was so much fun + a perfect addition to our homeschool curriculum.

It’s suppose to be a full moon next week, so we’ve been enjoying watching it “get bigger and bigger!”

You can talk through all the different phases and how earth’s shadow changes what we see at night.

It’s a really great activity for all ages, just adjust the talking points to your kiddos level. And then enjoy a chocolaty treat when you’re done, because we all deserve a midday break!
