The moon is a wondrous site to behold, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter what phase it’s in, it always brightens my day (see what I did there?) to catch a glimpse of it up in the sky. I don’t care if it’s full or a crescent or only the Chesire Cat’s smile (as my daughter refers to it), it’s always a gentle reminder that we’re kind of small, and the universe is rather big.
Even better than the regular old moon: the lunar eclipse that’s coming later this month. Let’s celebrate all things lunar for craft time this week. Whether you focus on the phases of the moon or its full-on glory, I bet one of these crafts will catch your eye.

What better thing to add to the moon than dreams? The double circles in the center of this dream catcher are, well, dreamy!
