Discover all of Moon’s phases with Oreo cookies!
WHAT YOU NEED:
• (8) Oreo cookies, one for each moon phase
• A Popsicle stick or other tool for scraping the frosting
WHAT TO DO:
1. Separate Oreo cookies carefully, while keeping the frosting intact.
2. After twisting, most of the frosting will be on one side or the other. You can always transfer frosting if needed.
3. Re-create each phase in cookies and frosting to show how Moon changes from new moon to full moon.
