In “The Little House”, The Little House spoke about how she loved watching the moon grow from a thin new moon to a full moon. Use this opportunity to teach your little learner about the various moon phases with this mat. Use any material you think will engage your learner the best. You can use playdough, cookies, or paper to form it into each moon phase.

This resource is an extension activity for our Weekly Storybook-based Activity Guide to the book “The Little House.”

What’s Included?

1. One moon phase mat

How to Play

1. Laminate or place the printable inside a Ziploc bag
2. If using play dough, try to shape it to the different phases of the moon on the mat.
3. If using cookies, have your child take one big bite out of the cookie to shape it to a moon’s phase and place it on the mat.
