M is for Moon

Lately, my son has been infatuated with the sky. He always looks for the Moon in the sky. I am running with his interest, as I often do. Today, we made our own moon. He was really excited about it.

5. Then, he added a little glitter.

6. Finally, our moon was done. I was impressed that my son covered most of the moon. It seems the older he gets, the more time he takes with his work. What a big boy!

  4. My little one is so into the moon at the moment! She picks it out even during the day and loves going out at night to see it. She'll love this idea.
