Phases of the Moon Coloring Page

The Moon changes shape across the page, from a thin crescent to a big round full moon and back again, above a sleepy little town. It is a great page for learning how the Moon seems to change each night. Color the lit part of each moon bright and the dark part deep blue.

Pip’s fun fact

The Moon does not make its own light; it shines because sunlight bounces off it, and we see different amounts of the lit side each night.

Try this together

Look for the Moon each evening for a week and draw its shape on a calendar to see how it changes.
