Coloring Scene 3 Moon Showing Its Phases Coloring Page

Meet the star of this Moon Showing Its Phases coloring page: a cute moon showing its phases, shown with a smaller mini version of itself beside it. Kids can talk about the scene before they start, guess what happens next, then bring it to life with color. This free printable is ready to download and print at home or in the classroom, and works well for rainy-day play and weekend crafts. As they color, Ages 4–9 children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pencil control, observation skills, nature vocabulary -- and along the way, they can learn three new words: full moon, lunar, moon. The changing shapes we see depend on how much of the moon's sunlit side is facing Earth.
