B was learning about phases of the moon, so to help him better understand I decided to try some Phases of the Moon activities. Included here, there is a hand-son activity which involves Oreo biscuits as well as a few different printable packs.

These activities are a great way for kids to learn the phases of the moon.

To make our Phases of the Moon Oreo activity, first the boys helped me pull them apart. We them used a butter knife to move the cream to the place we wanted it.

These activities are a great way for kids to learn the phases of the moon.

They each took turns at labelling the phases of the moon. They took turns drawing the cards out of a bowl and placed them in the correct position.  We did this for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, concentrating more on the Southern as that is what we see.

These activities are a great way for kids to learn the phases of the moon.

Note: The above picture is the phases of the moon as seen in the Northern Hemisphere. I forgot to take a picture of the phases of the moon as seen in the Southern Hemisphere.

Then we completed these worksheets that I made. Included in this printable pack are the labels we used with our Oreo activity. I cut out these labels and laminated them before we used them. Also included are posters of the moon phases which you can use to create your Oreo activity or to help your child learn the different phases. There is also a moon observation journal in which kids can look at the moon over the next month and draw what they see.

These worksheets are a great way for kids to learn the phases of the moon.
