Fun Things To Do With Your Space Coloring Pages
If you’ve already colored your favorite astronaut or galaxy scene, don’t stop there! There are tons of fun, creative crafts you can make using these free printable space coloring pages. Check out these cool ideas:
1. DIY Space Mobile
Turn your space coloring sheets into a floating mobile to hang from the ceiling. After coloring planets, rockets, and astronauts, cut them out and punch a small hole at the top of each one. Use string or yarn to hang them from a coat hanger or embroidery hoop. It’s a fun way to create your own mini solar system that spins just like the real thing!
2. Astronaut Helmet Craft
Pick your favorite astronaut coloring page and cut out just the helmet part after coloring it. Glue it onto a paper plate that’s had the center cut out. Attach some yarn or string to fit it around your head, and boom—you’ve got your very own astronaut helmet! Great for pretend play or a space-themed costume.
3. Space Story Book
Print several of the space coloring pages and fold them in half to create a mini book. After coloring, kids can write a story on the back of each page about their space adventure. Bind the pages together with staples or yarn to make a personalized space storybook!
4. Rocket Ship Greeting Cards
Shrink your favorite rocket or alien coloring page before printing, then fold a piece of colored cardstock in half to create a greeting card. Glue the colored image to the front and write a message inside. These make great birthday cards or notes for teachers and friends who love space.
5. Glow-in-the-Dark Galaxy Art
Color a galaxy or stars page, then brush over it with glow-in-the-dark paint. Let it dry and hang it up in your room. When the lights go off, your glowing galaxy comes to life! For even more fun, cut out stars and planets and hang them with fishing line.
6. Space-Themed Puzzle
After coloring a space page, glue it to a piece of cardboard. Once dry, cut it into puzzle pieces using scissors. Now you’ve got your very own custom-made space puzzle to play with over and over again. This is a great quiet-time activity or classroom game.
7. Alien Puppets
Color your favorite alien coloring sheets and cut them out. Glue them onto craft sticks to create funny alien puppets. Add googly eyes or glitter for extra fun. Then put on a puppet show about an alien planet and the characters who live there!
8. Rocket Launch Countdown Chart
Use a rocket coloring page to make a countdown chart for a big event—like a birthday, vacation, or holiday. Number the rocket windows or flames from 10 to 1. Each day, kids can color in a new part of the rocket until it’s time to “launch” the big day.
9. Space Garland
Cut out colored stars, planets, and rockets and attach them to a string using tape or a stapler. Hang the garland across a window or wall to decorate your room or a classroom. You can even add letters to spell out “BLAST OFF!” or “WELCOME TO SPACE!”
10. Constellation Match Game
Color and cut out several stars and glue them onto small index cards. On some cards, draw simple constellations using star stickers or dots. Use the extra cards for individual stars. Shuffle the cards and play a memory match game by finding stars that go with their constellations.
11. Moon Surface Collage
Use a moon coloring page as the base for a fun 3D art project. After coloring it gray or silver, glue on pieces of aluminum foil, cotton balls, and pebbles to give it texture like the real moon. Add an astronaut or flag cutout to complete the scene.
12. Rocket Blast Painting
Color a rocket page, cut out the rocket, and glue it to a large piece of construction paper. Then, use red, orange, and yellow tissue paper or paint to create a blast-off trail behind the rocket. This gives the picture movement and looks awesome hanging on the wall.
13. Space Folder Covers
Use space coloring sheets to decorate folders or binders for school. Just color your favorite space scene and glue it to the front of a folder. You’ll have a cool, personalized cover that shows off your love for space every time you open your notebook.
14. Classroom Planet Chart
Teachers can use space coloring pages to build a classroom solar system chart. Have each student color a different planet or space object. Label them and hang them in order on a bulletin board. It’s a fun and educational group activity!
15. Alien Decoder Wheel
Print two circle coloring pages—one with alien symbols and another with letters. Color them both and cut them out. Fasten them in the center with a brad so they spin. Use them to create secret alien messages and decode them with your friends! With all these fun ideas and so many cool coloring sheets to choose from, your space adventure can keep going long after the coloring is done. These free printable PDF coloring pages are perfect for home crafts, classroom fun, or just relaxing time learning about outer space.
