Are you planning to get the Discovery Exclusive Remote Control Moon In My Room? If so, keep in mind that there are two things you need to know in order to get the best value for your money.

The first is how to get the most out of the toy itself.

And the second is where to find the best deal.

How to Use Moon in My Room

Most people just hang the moon on their wall as a nightlight or use it to explain about the moon. That is a mistake because there is so much more you could do with it. If you plan to have this toy hanging in your child's room, consider the following ideas.

You can use it to teach a toddler about the concepts of big and small. Just use the remote control to change the phase of the moon and ask your toddler if the moon got bigger or smaller.

You can have your preschooler look at the moon outside and match the Moon in My Room to the current lunar phase. You can also have him or her locate the current state of the moon on the moon phase chart. Use it to build up their shape recognition skills which are so important as a preparation for learning how to read.

If you have an older child, you can use other teaching aids to complement the Moon in My Room. For example, bring a lamp into the room and turn off the lights. Turn on the lamp and have your child hold a styrofoam ball on a pencil to represent the moon. Then have your child rotate the ball around the lamp stopping frequently to note the shape of the moon on the ball. At the same time use the Discovery Exclusive Remote Control Moon in My Room to match the shape of the ball to the shape of the Moon in my Room. Use this experiment to explain why we see the different phases of the moon the way we do.
