Blast Off Word SPACE with Astronaut, Rocket and Planets
Coloring guide
A smiling child astronaut floats in zero gravity and waves one hand, wearing a helmet and a spacesuit with a control panel on the chest and a backpack. Big bubble letters above the astronaut spell SPACE, while a rocket with a round porthole window zooms across the top, leaving a long trail of flames and puffy smoke. The page is filled with ringed planets, a striped planet, a cratered moon, an Earth-like globe with continents and a swirling galaxy. Shooting stars, small asteroids, twinkling stars and sparkles fill in the gaps. Big shapes work for little hands and the small details keep older kids busy, and it's a free printable. Red, orange and yellow suit the rocket flames, and deep blues and purples on the planets will make the astronaut stand out. This fits right in with our Words coloring pages — see also Activity Sheets and Alphabet.
