Follow the Moon!
When the new moon is rising, your kids will notice. Drawing the phases of the moon will bring an out-of-this-world experience up close.
1. To create flaps for your calendar, divide a large sheet of black construction paper into eight strips by lightly drawing horizontal lines with Crayola® Fine Line Markers at even intervals.
2. Fold the paper in half vertically and crease it. Unfold the paper and cut with Crayola Scissors along the lines up to the middle crease.
3. Find the names of the eight phases of the moon in an almanac, reference book, or on the Internet. Look for other information about each phase, too.
4. With a white Crayola gel marker, write the names of the phases of the moon on the outside flaps. With a yellow crayon, draw what the moon looks like at each phase.
5. Cut rectangular shapes of white paper to fit inside the flaps. Glue these with a Crayola Glue Stick to each inside flap. Write facts about each phase of the moon on the matching inside flap.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
