Take a Full Moon Walk in 2016 with a FREE printable trackerDid you walk by the light of a full moon last year?

As a family, we tried to get out each full moon to take a walk. It didn’t always happen…it rained, it snowed, someone had to work late, or had a evening class. But we did try! And having a calendar showing when the full moon would be did help us remember to get outside at night.

Nature Book Review: Moon ChildMarch’s full moon will occur on the 5th of the month.

Taking a family walk under the light of the full moon in a wonderful activity.  Not only does the moon’s presence add a magical quality, it allows you to see so much more!

Moon Child by Nadia Krilanovich is a perfect introduction to the full moon for toddlers and preschoolers.  The adorable raccoon, otter, and owl give a variety of peaceful activities to do with the moon to make bedtime or a nighttime nature walk special.

Take a walk on March 5th and be a Moon Child yourself!
