Space & Galaxy Coloring Pages (Free Printables to Print)

Few themes spark imagination like outer space. Rockets, ringed planets, astronauts, and swirling galaxies make for coloring pages that thrill little space fans and give adults a dreamy, cosmic canvas to play with.

Here are some of our favorite space and galaxy pages — all free, all one-click PDF downloads.

Great for curious kids

Space pages are a fun springboard for learning. While coloring, kids can talk about the planets, why rockets need so much fire, or what an astronaut wears and why. It turns quiet coloring time into easy, hands-on curiosity.

How to make a galaxy page pop

Space scenes are one of the few times a dark background works beautifully:

• Go deep, not flat. Blend dark blue, purple, and black for the night sky instead of one solid color.
• Add a glow. Around stars and planets, lighten the surrounding sky for a soft halo.
• Leave the stars white — or dot them back in with a white gel pen over a dark sky for instant sparkle.
• Make planets dimensional. Color darker on one edge and lighter on the other so they look round, not flat.
