Astronaut Planting a Flag on the Moon: Solar System & Space Coloring
Coloring guide
On the lunar surface, a cheerful young astronaut holds a tall flagpole that's planted in a small mound of moon dust. The child wears a round helmet with headphones, a backpack, gloves and chunky boots, plus a spacesuit with a chest control panel and padded knees. A moon rover with a satellite dish and big wheels waits behind them. Earth hangs in the sky with its continents outlined, and the ground is dotted with craters and small rocks. The flag is left blank on purpose, so kids can invent their own with stripes, stars or something brand new. Gray and silver work for the rocks, any bright color for the suit, and blue and green for Earth. Good for space lovers, science class or a calm afternoon at home. Add this to your Solar System & Space coloring page collection, alongside Butterfly and Beach.
