5 Moon Study Must-Haves
If you’re doing a moon or moon phase unit study it’s nice to have a materials you don’t have to prep. I also love it when my 6YO asks to play with her “school toys.” It makes me super happy. Here are five things we bought to go along with our moon unit study that I loved and would totally buy again…
The Moon and Phases Unit and Resources
Super excited to share this unit with you guys. We had lots of fun painting the moon and putting together some fun projects was a bonus. The included activities are enough for a week long focus on The Moon and Phases. The activities are designed to reinforce skills and enrich a space or moon focused study.
