Stargazing Ghost with a Telescope on a Hill
Coloring guide
In this free printable page, a cheerful little ghost with big sparkly eyes and an open smile looks through a telescope on a tripod. It stands on a grassy hill, clearly delighted by the night sky overhead. Up there you'll find a ringed planet, a striped planet, a crescent moon, a cratered moon, and lots of stars and dots in different sizes. A small leafy tree stands on the right, and tufts of grass and a few rocks are scattered over the ground. Small hands will manage the large shapes in the sky easily, while the stars and grass give older kids more detail. Instead of leaving the ghost white, try a soft sky blue or lavender, then add warm yellow stars and an orange-striped planet so everything stands out against the night. It's a good quiet-time pick for space lovers or anyone who likes friendly ghosts. Kids who like Ghost coloring pages usually enjoy Witch and Elf too.
