Have your kids ever asked you why is the moon looking smaller one day and bigger a few days later? Or why is there no moon at all on a particular night? Children have so many questions that they want us to answer and sometimes we’re at a loss at how to best explain it to them.
The different phases of the moon is a topic that kids learn in school, but we thought it would be fun if you could teach them the different phases using these three interesting ways. Do you know the different phases that the moon appears in the sky? They are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Waning Half and Waning Crescent.
Now watch the video to see how you can making learning fun and interesting for your kids.
