Night Time Fun!

Good Night, Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle

Here are a couple of activities that would go with either book:

 

 Glue a 1/2  piece of black paper onto the blue paper to make a "day" and "night". 
 Add stars and a moon to the night sky.  Add a sun and cotton for clouds to the day sky.




 Cut 2 circles, a black and a white (mine were about 8 inches in diameter).  From the black circle, cut a smaller circle out as shown (mine was 2 1/2 inches in diameter).  Lay the two large circles on top of each other, and fasten with a brad paper fastener in the center (be sure to mark the exact center ahead of time).  Glue the smaller black circle on the white circle exactly underneath the hole that it came from.  As you turn the black wheel, the different moon phases will show.
