Why the moon?

•It can be seen from every place and

looking at it children learn to turn their eyes

towards the sky

•Because the moon is round and the Earth as well

•Because the moon missions are fascinating for

young children

•Because the Moon is multi-cultural

The moon changes its shape

Children learn to observe these changes and enjoy

painting the moon as seen at different phases
