Fun Things To Do With Your Moon Coloring Pages
After your child has finished coloring their moon-themed pages, there are lots of creative ways to use them! Check out these fun craft ideas and DIY activities to keep the learning and fun going.
Build a DIY Solar System Mobile
Use your colored moon pages along with other space-themed printables (like the sun, stars, and planets) to make a solar system mobile. Cut out each item, punch a small hole at the top, and tie them with string to a hanger or hoop. Hang it above a bed or in a classroom for a cool spinning space display.
Make a Moon Phase Chart
Print and color different versions of the moon—full, crescent, half, and new moon. Glue them in order on a long piece of paper or poster board. Add labels to show each phase. This makes a great learning project and visual aid for understanding how the moon changes shape in the sky.
Turn Them Into Space-Themed Bookmarks
Pick a page that has a rocket or moon close-up. After coloring, cut out a tall rectangle, glue it onto a piece of cardstock, and laminate with tape. Now you have a moon-themed bookmark! Add a ribbon at the top or write your name on the back to personalize it.
Create a Glow-in-the-Dark Art Display
Color your moon page using white or light crayons, then go over it with glow-in-the-dark paint. Hang it near a lamp during the day, and it will glow at night! You can even add stars and planets to make a full glowing galaxy scene.
Make a Space Explorer ID Badge
Cut out a small part of the moon coloring page—like a moon or a rocket—and glue it onto a rectangle card. Add your child’s photo, name, and title like “Junior Astronaut” or “Space Commander.” Laminate it and attach it to a lanyard for pretend play!
Design Your Own Moon Landing Diorama
Color a moon landscape and use it as the background for a small shoebox diorama. Add tiny astronauts, flags, rovers, or aliens using cutouts, toys, or drawings. You can even sprinkle some glitter for “moon dust.” This makes an awesome 3D school project or rainy day craft.
Make a Countdown to a Space Event
If a meteor shower or lunar eclipse is coming up, use your moon coloring pages as a countdown calendar. Number each sheet and color one each day leading up to the big event. It’s a fun way to build excitement and learn more about space at the same time.
Create a Rocket Launching Game
Color a page with a rocket blasting off. Cut it out and glue it to a clothespin or straw. Set up a target (like the moon on another page) across the room. Use a rubber band or balloon to launch your rocket and try to land on the moon! You can even measure the distance traveled for a science twist.
Make a Pop-Up Moon Card
Fold a piece of cardstock in half to make a card. Glue your colored moon page to the front. Inside, create a pop-up using a folded paper strip with an astronaut or rocket on it. When the card opens, the object “lifts off” into space!
Design a Starry Nightlight Shade
Color a moon and stars page using bright colors or glow markers. Wrap it around a clear plastic cup or mason jar, and place a battery-operated tea light inside. The light will shine through your design and make a soft starry glow at night.
Make a Moon-Themed Reward Chart
Use one of your coloring pages as a reward chart. Draw stars or boxes over the sheet and let your child add stickers each time they finish a task—like brushing teeth or reading a book. When the chart is full, reward them with a moon-themed prize like a space toy or movie night.
Craft a Personalized Moon Door Hanger
Cut out a colored moon and glue it onto a strip of cardboard. Add your child’s name and write something like “Astronaut [Name]’s Room” or “Do Not Disturb—Space Mission in Progress.” Punch a hole at the top and hang it on a bedroom doorknob with string or yarn.
These free printable moon coloring pages are more than just fun—they’re a launchpad for creativity! Whether you’re doing a space unit at school or just exploring the solar system at home, these PDF coloring sheets offer endless possibilities for crafts, learning, and imaginative play.
