My kids are adults already, and I’m still in love with Goodnight Moon. Now I’m looking forward to the joy of reading Goodnight Moon to my future grandkids! (2015 Update: My granddaughter, Zoey, LOVES Goodnight Moon!)
Last week was Children’s Book Week, and I published a few Montessori-inspired Goodnight Moon activities in my Montessori-Inspired Literature-Based Activities for Preschoolers. In honor of Goodnight Moon author Margaret Wise Brown‘s birthday on May 23, I want to share more Goodnight Moon resources.
Today, I’m sharing links to Goodnight Moon free printables and activities from around the blogosphere. Even though not all the printables and activities in this post are Montessori activities, many of them would fit well in a Montessori-inspired Goodnight Moon unit.
