This is an easy, fast and fun way to get your kids' creative juices going without a lot of mess or stress!

Here's what you need:

  • Paper plate
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Marker/crayon
  • Googly eye (optional)
  • Glitter, sequins or other embellishments (optional)

Directions:

Carefully draw a silhouette of a crescent moon's face (see photo) and cut along the line. Have your child glue a googly eye or draw one on. Color in a sleeping cap, or glue on a fabric scrap to create one. Add glittler glue or sequins or anything else your kids can think of! Hang them on the wall for Moon Day on July 20th and have a Moon Pie for snacks! And maybe read Goodnight Moon to your kiddos at bedtime...
