Fun Things To Do With Your Rocket Coloring Pages

Make a Rocket Mobile

After your child finishes coloring a few rocket pages, help them cut out the rockets and attach strings to the tops. Then hang them from a wire coat hanger or a wooden dowel to create a colorful rocket mobile. This makes a great decoration for a bedroom or classroom, and it’s a fun way to show off their hard work.

Use fishing line or yarn for hanging, and vary the string lengths to make the rockets look like they’re flying at different heights. Add paper stars and moons to make the mobile even more space-themed!

Create a Space Adventure Storybook

Turn your finished rocket coloring pages into a custom storybook. Help your child write a short story on the back of each page, describing where the rocket is going, who’s onboard, and what they see in space. Staple the pages together to make a fun, one-of-a-kind space storybook.

This is a creative way to mix writing and art and lets your child become both an author and illustrator. Encourage them to name their rocket and describe what kind of planets they might discover.

DIY Rocket Puzzles

After coloring a rocket page, glue it onto a piece of thin cardboard like a cereal box. Once it dries, cut it into puzzle pieces. You can make it simple for younger kids with just a few big pieces, or more complex for older ones.

This turns a regular coloring sheet into an interactive game. Kids can try to put the puzzle together again and again, or swap puzzles with friends to try solving each other’s.

Design a Rocket Launch Poster

Use the rocket coloring sheets to create a large rocket launch countdown poster. Color a big rocket, cut it out, and glue it to a poster board. Then add countdown numbers from 10 to 1, plus fun labels like “Fueling up,” “Ready for lift-off,” and “Blast Off!”

This is a fun decoration idea for a space-themed birthday party or for learning about space in a classroom. You can even use cotton balls to create smoke at the bottom of the rocket for an extra 3D effect.

Rocket-Themed Greeting Cards

Shrink down a printable PDF rocket coloring page before printing by changing the printer settings or selecting “2 pages per sheet.” Once colored, fold it in half to make a custom greeting card. Add messages like “You’re Out of This World!” or “Have a Blast!”

These cards are great for birthdays, thank-you notes, or just cheering someone up with a space-themed surprise.

Build a Rocket Diorama

Use a shoebox or small cardboard box to make a rocket-in-space scene. After coloring and cutting out your rocket, glue it inside the box. Decorate the background with colored stars, planets, and galaxies. Use glow-in-the-dark stickers or glitter for extra fun.

This is a great hands-on project that brings the coloring sheets to life in 3D. It’s perfect for a classroom science project or for kids who love building things.

Make a Countdown Calendar

Use 10 different rocket coloring pages to create a countdown calendar for a special event, like a birthday or space-themed party. Number the pages from 10 to 1, and hang them in a row. Each day, tear off a page and celebrate being one step closer to the big day.

It’s a fun way to build excitement while also encouraging kids to complete their coloring each day. Plus, the finished pages can be saved and turned into a scrapbook.

Design Your Own Rocket

After coloring a few printable rocket pages, challenge your child to design their own rocket from scratch. Use parts from different pages as inspiration. Then draw the new design on a blank sheet of paper, color it, and give it a name.

This is a great creative activity that builds off the inspiration from the coloring sheets and encourages imagination and original thinking.

Create Rocket Stick Puppets

Cut out colored rockets and glue them to popsicle sticks or drinking straws to make rocket puppets. Kids can use them to act out space adventures or put on a puppet show.

You can even add mini astronaut cutouts to go along with the rockets, creating a fun and interactive space mission.

Make a Rocket Badge

Cut out a small colored rocket and glue it to a circle of cardstock. Add your child’s name and title like “Junior Space Explorer.” Attach a safety pin or clip to the back so they can wear it.

These badges are perfect for pretend play or for a space-themed classroom activity. Make one for each child to build a team of astronauts!

These rocket coloring pages are more than just fun—they’re also a great way to create crafts, games, and space adventures at home or in the classroom. Be sure to print out your favorite free printable rocket PDFs and get ready for blast off!
