Nine Labeled Planets Circling the Sun in a Square Frame

The Sun sits near the middle of a square frame, with short ray lines fanning out around it. Surrounding it are all nine labeled planets: Venus, Saturn with its wide tilted rings, Uranus with a ring standing upright beside it, Mars, tiny Pluto, spotty Mercury, Earth, Neptune, and a big Jupiter at the bottom left. Jupiter shows wavy cloud bands and an oval storm spot. Earth has outlines of continents that look like North America, and Mars has a few rough surface patches. Because every planet has its name printed beside it, kids can read along as they color. Try using the planet sizes as a starting point: make Jupiter and Saturn striped in warm browns and tans, Earth blue and green, and the Sun a bright yellow, then talk about which planets are biggest and smallest.
