Fun Things To Do With Your Solar System Coloring Pages
These coloring pages aren’t just for coloring—they can be used for all sorts of creative and educational projects. Here are some fun ideas to turn your solar system printables into exciting crafts!
Make a Solar System Mobile
Cut out each planet from the coloring pages after your child has colored them. Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each planet, then attach them to strings. Hang the strings from a clothes hanger or a paper plate with the Sun in the center. This makes a fun 3D model of the solar system!
Create a Space-Themed Wall Poster
Use a large piece of black construction paper as the background and glue the colored planets in order from the Sun. Add stars, moons, and even astronauts using extra drawings or stickers. Label each planet with its name for a cool educational poster!
Solar System Storybook
Staple several coloring sheets together to make a space adventure book. Have your child write a short story on each page about what might happen if they visited each planet. This is a fun way to encourage creativity and storytelling!
DIY Solar System Flashcards
After coloring, cut out the planets and glue them onto index cards. Write the name of each planet on the back. These can be used as flashcards to help kids memorize the order of the planets and their unique features.
Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System Art
Use glow-in-the-dark paint or crayons to color the planets, stars, and space scenes. Hang the artwork in a bedroom or classroom, and watch as the solar system glows at night!
