 Make this moon theme snack for your homeschool moon or outer space lessons and read books about the Moon. We started our enchanted evening by watching, "Diego's Moonlight Rescue," a Nickelodeon DVD. I bet you can find Moonlight Rescue on Netflix now. The kids loved this one. Enjoy!

Moon theme lesson plans and ideas are at the bottom of this post.

The moon is referred to as "Luna" in our house. Mayhem constantly checks for "her" behind the clouds and when it starts to get dark. She says, "Luna is my friend." We watched this cartoon about the moon every night for a month!

How to Make Crescent Roll Moons Recipe


Dinner:  Butter Spray, Parmesan Cheese, Crescent Rolls, Garlic Butter.

Dessert:  Butter Spray, Sugar, Cinnamon, Crescent Rolls.

We bought our crescent rolls at ALDI for super cheap. I always save the leftover condiments, so we have garlic butter from Papa John's for the recipe and to dip too!
