To paint the moon, apply yellow paint to one of the paper plates. Let dry.
Dip a piece of damp sponge into the orange paint and lightly dab it on top of the dried yellow paint, to create texture.
Next, cut the center out of another paper plate. Discard the center and paint the circle piece black.
Once the black paint is dry, lay the black paper plate on top of the yellow one. Glue it together, except for a few inches at the bottom, where the silhouette slides in.
To create the silhouette shapes, fold a piece of cardstock in half and draw half of the shape along the fold line.
Cut out and unfold to reveal the silhouettes.
Add a pair of googly eyes to each of the silhouettes.
Apply some yellow and orange paint to the popsicle sticks to create a variation of color that will blend in with the moon.
Once the popsicle sticks are dry, glue the silhouettes on top.
Slide the popsicle stick through the opening at the bottom of the paper plate to move them across the full moon!
