Space Coloring Pages
These free space coloring pages send kids ages 3 to 10 on a trip past rockets, astronauts, planets, the Moon, stars and friendly aliens. Each page comes with a true, kid-sized space fact, so coloring doubles as a mini science lesson. Easy pages show one big rocket or planet for little hands, while detailed scenes like the solar system and space station challenge older kids. Print them or color online.

Questions parents ask
Are the space facts on these pages accurate?
Yes. Each fact is a well-known, widely documented piece of space science, such as Saturn's icy rings or the Moon reflecting sunlight. They are written simply for young kids, so they leave out tricky numbers. Older kids can use a fact as a starting point for a library book or classroom report.
How can I use the solar system page to teach the planets?
Have kids color the planets in order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. A silly sentence like My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles helps them remember. Real photos make good color guides, since Mars looks reddish and Neptune looks blue.
What age are these space coloring pages for?
The collection covers ages 3 to 10. Easy pages like the smiling Sun or the waving astronaut suit preschoolers. Medium pages add craters, stars and rovers for ages 5 to 8, and the detailed space station and backyard campout scenes give kids 8 and up plenty of small areas to fill.
