Rockets & Space Coloring Pages

These space pages take kids from the launch pad to the far side of the solar system. There is a rocket blasting off, a space shuttle on its boosters, a friendly astronaut, a satellite, a moon rover, a ringed planet, a comet and a planet parade, plus a flying saucer and a cheerful alien for a bit of make-believe.

Most of the drawings are surrounded by little stars and dots, so even a simple page can become a whole night sky. The rocket, astronaut, saucer, alien and comet are easy shapes for preschoolers, while the shuttle, satellite, rover and planet scenes have more parts for older children.

Coloring space is a lovely way into big questions: what planets are made of, why astronauts float, how a rocket gets off the ground. The facts on each page give you a true answer or two to share.
