Fun Things To Do With Your Astronaut Coloring Pages

Now that you’ve printed some astronaut coloring pages, what can you do with them besides just coloring? We’ve got a bunch of creative and easy craft ideas that turn these free PDF coloring sheets into awesome projects for kids. Here are some space-themed ways to make your coloring even more fun:

1. Make a Space Helmet Cutout

After coloring an astronaut’s helmet page, cut out the center of the helmet’s face area. Glue the helmet onto a paper plate and cut a hole for your child’s face. Use string or tape to make it wearable like a mask. Your child can pretend they’re an astronaut ready for liftoff!

2. Create a Rocket Ship Diorama

Use a shoebox as the base for a mini space scene. Color in astronaut and rocket coloring pages, cut them out, and glue them inside the box. Add black construction paper for space and use glitter or white paint to make stars. You can even hang planets and moons from the top with string.

3. Turn Coloring Pages into Space Storybooks

Have your child color several astronaut-themed pages and then staple them together like a book. Ask them to write or tell a short space adventure on each page. It’s a fun way to mix storytelling with art and turn free printable coloring pages into their very own book.

4. DIY Astronaut Puppets

Color your favorite astronaut pages and cut out the characters. Then glue them onto popsicle sticks or straws. Now you have astronaut puppets! Kids can use them to put on a puppet show about space missions and alien encounters.

5. Build a Space Mobile

Cut out astronauts, rockets, and planets from the coloring sheets after they’re colored. Punch holes at the top and tie string through each one. Hang them from a wire hanger or a stick to create a spinning mobile that looks like it’s floating through space.

6. Make a Glow-in-the-Dark Poster

Print out astronaut coloring sheets and color them with neon or glow-in-the-dark crayons or markers. Then glue them onto black construction paper. Hang the poster in a dark room to watch your space art glow like the night sky.

7. Design Your Own Space Suit

Use an astronaut coloring sheet that shows the full body. Ask your child to design their own space suit using crayons, markers, or stickers. Maybe their astronaut has a rainbow suit or one with flames—let them be creative!

8. Astronaut Lacing Cards

Laminate your completed astronaut coloring pages or cover them in clear packing tape. Use a hole punch to create holes around the edge, then give your child yarn or a shoelace to weave through the holes. This turns the coloring page into a reusable lacing card for fine motor skills.

9. Space Bingo Game

Color and cut out small astronaut characters, rockets, and stars from several coloring pages. Then draw a bingo card grid and place the cutouts in the squares. As you call out items, kids can use coins or buttons to cover their matches. The first one to cover a row wins!

10. Astronaut Thank You Cards

Fold a blank piece of paper in half to make a card. Glue a small cut-out astronaut coloring onto the front and write a thank-you note inside. These make great thank-you cards for teachers, friends, or family after a party or event.

11. Space Garland Decoration

Make a space-themed garland by coloring and cutting out astronauts, rockets, and stars. Use a hole punch to thread a string through each one, then hang it across a wall or window to decorate a room for a birthday or learning unit about space.

12. Astronaut Puzzle Craft

After coloring a page, glue it onto cardboard (like an old cereal box) and cut it into puzzle pieces. Mix them up and see how fast your child can put the astronaut back together. It’s a simple and fun DIY puzzle that can be played over and over.

13. Space Mission Certificates

Use the coloring pages to create a “Mission Complete” certificate. Have your child color an astronaut, and then write a message like “Great Job, Astronaut!” at the top. You can reward them with this after they finish a learning activity or clean-up mission.

14. DIY Planet Chart with Astronauts

Print and color astronauts and rocket ships, then tape or glue them onto a chart showing the planets. As your child learns about each planet, they can move the astronaut around the chart to “visit” each one. It’s a fun way to combine science and art.

15. Story Dice with Astronaut Themes

Cut small squares from colored astronaut pages and tape them onto the sides of a cube (or a folded paper dice). Roll the dice to start a story about space. If you roll a rocket, maybe the story starts with a launch. If you roll a planet, it’s time for an alien encounter!

These astronaut coloring pages are not only free and printable, but they can be used in so many cool and creative ways. Whether you’re decorating a classroom, creating a space adventure at home, or just having fun on a rainy day, these PDF coloring sheets are a blast.
