Moon Phases

Foldable

Three
Formats!
 About This Product…
I created this simple foldable to go along with any lesson on the moon’s phases.
There are three formats to best fit your needs. To use, simply follow the instructions
below.

Format A: (trifold foldable – great for gluing down onto paper)

1. Print pages 4 and 5 DOUBLE SIDED (front and back)
2. Cut off the white border around the foldable
3. Fold along the solid lines
4. Cut along the dotted lines
5. Fill in any additional information, glue onto paper, and enjoy!

Format B: (trifold foldables, 2 to a page, small size – great for gluing into notebooks!)
1. Print pages 6 and 7 DOUBLE SIDED (front and back)
2. Cut each page in half
3. Cut off the white border around the foldable

4. Fold along the solid lines

5. Cut along the dotted lines
6. Fill in any additional information, glue into notebook, and enjoy!

Format C: - Larger pictures – flaps will overlap, good for standing alone and putting
the flaps in order
1. Print pages 8 and 9 DOUBLE SIDED (front and back)
2. Cut off the white border around the foldable
3. Fold along the solid lines
4. Cut along the dotted lines
5. Fill in any additional information for each phase, show students how to move
the flaps to show a cycle, and enjoy!

Important notes for both formats:

• If you fold with the pictures on top, the phases “start” at the top left with new
moon, then go through the foldable in a counter-clockwise direction.
• If you fold with the words on top, the phases “start” at the top right with new
moon, then go through the foldable in a clockwise direction.
• If you accidentally print the papers one-sided (hey, I’ve only done that a million
times…) it also works to glue the second page to the first page, then fold and cut.
