Space & Planets Coloring Pages

The solar system and beyond

There are planet pages, Saturn with its rings, Mars, the moon, and full solar system layouts. Then the human side: astronauts, spacesuits, rockets, spaceships and satellites. Further out sit the galaxy, nebula and constellation pages, which are the most striking once coloured, and friendly aliens for children who want something less serious.

Space topics and night skies

Printable space coloring sheets support a solar system unit, a lesson on day and night, or a discussion about what an astronaut needs to survive. A constellation page doubles as a star chart if you colour the stars and leave the background dark.

Try dark paper

These are among the few pages that work printed on light grey or blue paper with white and metallic pencils. It takes one extra minute at the printer and the results look like nothing else on the classroom wall.
