Moon Observation Journal Astronomy Study for Kids
Looking for a fun way for your child to study the moon phases? This moon observation journal makes for a great astrology study for pre-k and up!
For months now, my son has been fascinated with the moon. He points it out every time we see it, and he’s made comments about the different phases. He definitely didn’t understand why, but he was intrigued.
While putting together my massive Space unit, I knew I needed to add a moon observation journal, and I’ve got to say – I’m quite proud of how it turned out!
Even better, I know this study will last the test of time. It wasn’t terribly difficult to put together, but it was a labor of love, for sure. It will be fulfilling to watch my kids reuse it over the years. I hope the same for you as well!

There are a few guide pages included, but I also was sure to add both a weekly version, and a monthly version. You can pick one or the other, or fill out 2 together every night.
We’re completing this study in November/December. It’s not terribly cold down here in Texas, but it does get dark early, so we’re able to step outside to study the moon together long before it’s even time for bed.
