Letter M Is for Moon Coloring Page

This sheet pairs a hollow capital M with a hollow lowercase m and hangs a smiling crescent moon below them. M is one of the letters where the two cases teach genuinely different strokes. The capital is four straight lines forming two sharp peaks, while the lowercase is built from a post and two rounded arches, and children who have learned one sometimes draw the other with the wrong corners. Colouring both on the same page puts the difference in front of them. Counting helps too, because the capital M has two points at the top and the lowercase m has two humps, so the number stays the same even though the shape does not. The crescent moon below is a single large curved area with a small calm face, which makes it one of the fastest shapes in this set to fill in. That suits a bedtime or night sky topic, and it also makes this a sensible page to print late in the day when a long detailed sheet would not get finished.
