In Chinese culture, they say they see a bunny--not a man's face--on the moon. Do you see it?
It's a little difficult, so I've made a little craft to help! The Bunny-scope! For this craft you will need:
• tape if you are using card stock
• a piece of acetate
• black sharpie marker
• scissors
• exacto knife
• optional: gold star stickers, decorative tape, colored markers
1. If you are using card stock, roll it into a tube with with roughly 2in diameter (same as a paper towel tube) and use tape to secure the roll:
2. On your acetate, use your tube as a template to draw a circle:
3. Add a rectangle shape to the top half of the circle (this will serve as kind of a handle).
5. On the acetate, trace the bunny inside the circle (hint:looks best when it is off center, to the lower left).
6. Color the bunny in black, just like the template. Your slide should look like this:
8. The cut-out slide should look like this:
9. Go back to your tube. With an exact knife (adults will have to help kids with this), cut halfway through your telescope.
10. Insert your slide into the slit:
Your should see the bunny on the moon:
Happy bunny watching! Happy Moon Festival!
