The past two weeks have been a love affair with the moon at our house.
Reading about the moon, singing about the moon, making moon food...

Comparing a full moon to a cresent moon on the learning board:


Reading and rereading this beautiful book: Moon Dreams by Ruth Martin


And making moon food: Phases of the Moon Mini Pizzas!

It's super easy!

What you need:

English muffins

Pizza sauce

Shredded mozzerella
Pepperoni slices

Kitchen scissors

What you do:

1. Split one English muffin.

2. Cut one side in half. Use the one half as a half moon then cut the other to form a cresent moon.

3. Top with sauce and toppings. We cut our pepperonis into smaller bits for "craters".

4. Stick under the broiler until bubbly and serve with white grapes, corn, etc. for "stars".
