We love this song from StoryBots all about the moon!….

ROTATIONS OF THE MOON

Our moon rotates around our earth, once each day.

Try this activity to help your child understand the rotation of the moon:

Stand in the middle of the room and explain that you are the earth. Invite your child to be the moon by running or walking all the way around you.

MOON ENVIRONMENT

Create a moon landscape for your child by placing pillows all over the floor. Then cover the floor with white or yellow sheets.

Encourage your child to explore the moon and walk across the moon surface, wearing their moon boots. You may also want to play some moon music too.

Extension: Moon Journal for giraffes – let’s track the different shapes of the moon with this moon journal from “Buggy and Buddy” and see what we discover!
