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.

Isn’t that a great book, Jen?! I’m so impressed with all the creative ideas, too. 🙂
Thank you so much for including our Goodnight Moon unit! We had so much fun with this book!
My pleasure, Stephanie! I love your creative activities! 🙂
I read this book to my little girl tonight. Thanks for giving me great ideas to do with her tomorrow.
Thanks for your comment, Kate! I really loved the activities I found online! 🙂
Lots of great activities! We love book-based activities. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks! Isn’t the diorama awesome?! I’m totally in awe of it. 🙂
I cannot believe there is so much goodnight moon paraphernalia. I have 6 children and it was the favorite book of all of them. I now have 4 grandkids and the tradition is continuing
Thanks for your comment, Faigie! It’s amazing how much is available online now, isn’t it?! I’m hoping my future grandkids will love Goodnight Moon, too. 🙂
These are super cute! Thanks for linking up again Deb?
What great ideas!! I love the diorama!! That is amazing. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
Such a great resource! I’m starting Goodnight Moon tomorrow with my daughter and thought I knew what I was doing…but oh, there’s so much more! 🙂 Thanks again.
The CT Children’s Museum in New Haven, CT has a Good Night Moon room. It’s a replica of the room in the book. It’s awesome!
I’ve always loved the book, Goodnight Moon, so thank you for all of the accompanying activities. I especially like the Peeps diorama and will be sharing via Pinterest for others to enjoy!
My partner and i read this kind of e-book to the young daughter tonite. Thank you intended for presenting me personally excellent suggestions about her the next day.
