Rocket Ride Past Planets and Asteroids: Solar System & Space Printable
Coloring guide
A smiling child in a space helmet peeks out of a round, bolted porthole on a big rocket ship blasting across the page. The rocket has fins, decorative stripes, riveted panels and a swirling flame trail. Close by are a large striped gas giant with an oval storm swirl, a spiral galaxy in the top corner, a cratered moon on the right, and lots of lumpy cratered asteroids below and along the left side. Tiny stars and sparkles fill the gaps. Warm reds, oranges and yellows suit the flame, and deep blues and purples suit the planet's bands. This free printable has big areas for little hands and fine details for older kids. Fans of Solar System & Space coloring pages often like Butterfly and Beach as well.
