This is because the moon has no air, so therefore no wind to blow them away.

Craters tend to disappear on the Earth because of erosion caused by weather, and because of earthquakes. The moon has no air and therefore has no weather, and it also is not tectonically active.

Why do you see several impact craters on the earth but few on the moon?

There are relatively few craters identified on the surface of the Earth while there are thousands (millions) on the moon. It is hard to find one point on the moon that is not in one crater and there are craters in craters in craters. (See images in related link for Moon.) Obviously, the major reason behind this is that the craters that formed on the Earth eroded over time due to wind, rain and other natural factors which are nearly absent on the moon. Thus Earth's craters disappear over millions of years while the craters on the moon remain for billions of years. (The primary way a crater is made to disappear from the surface of the moon is by having another impact crater formed and the dust and debris from later impacts disturb or destroy or cover the original crater.)
