Moon Dunk: Astronaut Basketball Coloring Page
Coloring guide
A smiling young astronaut jumps high over the moon's surface with one arm stretched up, and a basketball floats toward a hoop on the right. The cartoon spacesuit includes a round helmet, a chest control panel, a backpack and padded knees, with lots of stripes and panels to color. The ground below is bumpy with rocks, mountains and wide craters. Up above, a ringed planet, a cratered moon, a striped planet, a few small planets and a little rocket with a flame trail are scattered among tiny stars and dots. Big shapes suit younger kids, while stars and craters keep older kids busy. An orange basketball against a deep blue sky gives strong contrast. Free to print for a sports-loving space fan. This fits right in with our NBA / Basketball coloring pages — see also Swimming and Tennis.
