Phases of the moon - oreo cookie style !

Last Wednesday we made the phases of the moon out of Oreo cookies.
The moon has 8 phases, - new moon, waxing crescent moon, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous moon, full moon, waning gibbous moon, last quarter, waning crescent moon.

To make Oreo moons we had to twist the cookies so they came apart into 2 pieces , then we looked carefully at the diagrams and used spoons and knives to scrape away the cream / icing.
we put them in order on the paper plates and labeled the moons. 
Then Maia took a photo of our work then............we ate all the moons!!! - yum
