Fun Things To Do With Your Galaxy Coloring Pages
Now that you’ve printed your galaxy coloring sheets, you can use them for so much more than just coloring. Here are some fun and creative DIY projects you can make with your finished galaxy art.
1. Galaxy-Themed Wall Art
Once you’ve finished coloring your galaxy sheets, cut them into different shapes like circles, stars, or crescent moons. Glue them onto a larger sheet of black construction paper to create a starry night sky scene. Add glow-in-the-dark star stickers for an extra special effect. This makes a great bedroom decoration for kids who love space.
2. Rocket Ship Puppets
Color a rocket ship page, cut it out, and attach it to a craft stick or straw with tape. You can make a set of galaxy puppets with rockets, astronauts, and planets. Kids can use these to act out space adventures, telling stories about blasting off into new worlds.
3. DIY Galaxy Mobile
Take several colored galaxy pages and cut out planets, rockets, and stars. Punch small holes at the top and hang them with string from a clothes hanger or embroidery hoop. You’ll have a homemade galaxy mobile that can be hung in a classroom or a child’s bedroom.
4. Starry Greeting Cards
Fold a piece of cardstock in half to make a greeting card. Cut out your favorite designs from the galaxy coloring sheets and glue them onto the front. Add a message like “You’re Out of This World!” or “Have a Stellar Day!” These make fun homemade birthday cards or notes for friends.
5. Space Adventure Board Game
Use the galaxy coloring sheets to create your own board game. Color planets, rockets, and astronauts, then glue them onto a large sheet of poster board. Draw a winding path of stars and use small toys or coins as player pieces. Add rules like “Blast off ahead 3 spaces” or “Black hole – go back 2 spaces.”
6. Glow-in-the-Dark Galaxy Posters
After coloring, trace over stars and planets with glow-in-the-dark paint or markers. Hang the pages in a dark room and watch your galaxy glow. This activity is especially fun for sleepovers or space-themed parties.
7. DIY Galaxy Notebooks
Print galaxy coloring sheets at a smaller size and use them as covers for handmade notebooks. Just staple several sheets of blank paper inside and fold the colored page over as a cover. These are great for journaling, school notes, or doodling.
8. Astronaut Masks
Find an astronaut coloring page, color it, and cut out the helmet shape. Cut a hole where the face would be and attach a string or elastic so kids can wear it like a mask. They’ll love pretending to explore space while wearing their astronaut creations.
9. Outer Space Puzzles
After coloring, glue your galaxy page onto a piece of cardboard. Cut it into puzzle shapes with scissors. Kids can challenge themselves or friends to put their galaxy puzzle back together again. For a harder version, cut the pieces into smaller shapes.
10. Galaxy Party Decorations
If you’re hosting a space-themed birthday, use these coloring sheets as decorations. You can tape them to walls, use them as placemats, or hang them on a banner string across the room. Kids can even color the decorations themselves as part of the party activity.
11. Constellation Flashcards
Take galaxy star sheets and use them to make constellation flashcards. Write the name of a constellation on one side and color in the star pattern on the other. These are a fun way for kids to learn about astronomy while being creative.
12. DIY Bookmarks
Cut your colored galaxy sheets into long strips and laminate them (or cover with clear tape). Add a ribbon or tassel to the top. These cosmic bookmarks are perfect for kids who love to read, and they make great little gifts too.
13. Space Scene Collage
Combine several finished coloring pages into one big piece of art. Cut out planets, rockets, and stars from different sheets, then glue them together on a large poster board. Kids can design their own unique galaxy by arranging the pieces however they like.
14. Galaxy Wrapping Paper
Print coloring sheets on larger paper (or tape several together), color them, and use them as wrapping paper for small gifts. This makes every present feel extra special and personalized. Perfect for birthdays or space-themed parties.
15. Classroom Galaxy Bulletin Board
Teachers can print several galaxy coloring sheets and have students color different parts of the solar system. Then display them together on a classroom bulletin board to make a giant galaxy mural. Each student gets to contribute their own piece of the universe.
