Starry Night Mobile
Create a dreamy mobile that looks like stars floating in the night sky. First, color in a variety of star shapes from the printable coloring pages. Cut them out carefully and glue two stars back-to-back with a string in between. Use a small branch or a wire hanger as the top of your mobile. Tie the strings at different lengths to make the stars hang in a cascade. Hang the mobile above a bed or reading nook for a calming effect.
Galaxy Greeting Cards
Turn your colored star sheets into greeting cards with a cosmic twist. After coloring your favorite stars, cut them out and glue them onto folded card stock. Use black or dark blue paper for the background to make your stars pop. Add messages like “You’re a Star!” or “Shine Bright!” These cards are perfect for birthdays, congratulations, or even just to cheer someone up.
Star-Shaped Bookmarks
Cut out medium-sized stars from your colored sheets and laminate them using clear tape or contact paper. Punch a hole in the top and add a ribbon or yarn tassel. These easy star bookmarks make great gifts for classmates or fun party favors. You can even write your name or a message on the back before laminating.
Constellation Poster
Use several different star coloring sheets to create a large wall poster showing your own constellation. Color and cut out various stars, then glue them onto a dark poster board. Connect them using lines made with white chalk or gel pen to form your own constellation. Give it a fun name and hang it on your wall for a personal space-themed decoration.
Star Wand Craft
After coloring in a big star, glue it to a sturdy piece of cardboard and cut it out. Attach a wooden dowel or a paper straw to the back with strong tape or glue. Add ribbons or tinsel to the bottom of the star for extra sparkle. This craft is perfect for pretend play, especially if your child loves fairies, wizards, or space adventures.
Shooting Star Puppets
Pick out stars with smiling faces from your coloring pages and color them in. Cut them out and tape them onto craft sticks. Then, cut out a tail of colorful paper or streamers and glue it to the bottom to make it look like a shooting star. Kids can put on a space-themed puppet show or use them for storytelling games.
Star Suncatchers
Print and color stars on thin paper like regular printer paper (not cardstock). Cut them out and glue them to a sheet of clear contact paper or transparent plastic from packaging. Add another layer of contact paper on top to seal them. Cut around the stars and tape them to windows. When the sun shines through, they’ll light up beautifully.
Star Jar Night Light
Color and cut out several small stars. Glue them around the inside of a clean glass jar using glue dots. Drop in a battery-powered tea light or fairy lights. Close the lid and enjoy your new DIY night light that glows like a mini galaxy. This is a calming decoration for bedtime or a fun gift for a friend.
Space Explorer Passport
Use your star coloring pages to create a pretend “space explorer passport.” Fold a sheet of paper into a little booklet, and glue mini star cut-outs inside each page. Add facts, doodles, or names of pretend planets and missions. Kids can create a new page for every star they color, making it a fun and educational space-themed journal.
Classroom Star Chart
Teachers can use these printable coloring sheets to make a reward or behavior chart. Each student can color their own star and write their name on it. Attach the stars to a bulletin board and use stickers or stamps to track progress. This is a fun way to make goal-setting visual and exciting in the classroom.
3D Star Garland
Fold colored stars slightly down the middle and glue two or three together by the edges to make a 3D effect. Once you have several, string them together into a garland using thread and a needle. Hang the garland in a doorway or across a wall to create a festive decoration for a party or bedroom.
Star-Themed Storybook
After coloring their stars, kids can write a story to go with them. Staple a few sheets of paper together to make a simple book. Each page can feature a different star character from the coloring sheets, with a sentence or two telling an adventure. This makes a fun literacy activity and gives kids a sense of pride in their storytelling.
These free, printable PDF star coloring pages are more than just a fun way to pass the time—they’re also perfect for crafts that spark creativity and imagination.
