Smiling Cartoon Planets Around a Big Center Sun

A large round character with a happy face sits in the middle of the page, surrounded by a ring of ten smaller smiling planets. Each one has big round eyes, raised eyebrows and an open grin. Some have horizontal stripes, one has a cratered, spotted surface, one shows continents like Earth, and one has a tilted ring around its middle like Saturn. Small outlined stars are scattered in the corners. The big center circle is left completely blank, so it is easy to color in. Print this free page and let kids pick the colors for the center character, then match the striped planets and the ringed one to a solar system poster or book. It also works well as a quick warm-up before a lesson on planet names and order.
