1. Rocket ship soaring through space
We’re taking a wonderful trip into the unknown for this outer space coloring page. This page features a beautifully detailed rocket ship that is blasting through the cosmos, and there are tons of stars and planets to admire here. There are so many different details, and even in black and white it is a vibrant and striking image. Once you have added some colors, it will look even more incredible! Do you think you will add any additional planets or spacecrafts to the scene or will you stick to what is there already?
2. Planets to color
Hopefully, you’re ready to take a trip to some amazing planets for this next page. There are some awesome planets, moons and stars featured here, and each one is unique! If we were to color this page, we would try to use a unique set of colors for every single object in the frame. That would be quite a coloring challenge, but we think that the end result would be worth the extra effort! What kind of approach do you think you will take for this incredible glimpse into outer space? We can’t wait to see how you interpret this interplanetary scene!
3. Space rocket travelling through the stars
Our first free outer space coloring page for kids shows a rocket blasting through space with planets in the background. It also seems to have encountered an alien spaceship floating around! You could keep the background a dark black and make the stars a bright yellow for some great contrast. Finishing it off with your favorite colors for the planets, rocket and spaceship will really make this an awesome image!
4. Spacecraft traveling through the galaxy
The moon looks very happy to be getting a visitor in this outer space printable! A rocket has blasted off from what looks like Earth and is heading towards the smiling moon for a visit. You could color in the planet with blues and browns to make it look like the Earth, or if you’re feeling creative you could make it your very own new planet with some bright colors.
5. Sun and planets coloring page
For the next page, we would probably go for a brighter, warm color scheme for some of the objects on display. The reason that comes to mind for us is that there is a bright sun along with a blazing comet flying through space. These fiery elements would look great with some warm colors, and then maybe you could balance it off with some cooler colors for the other planets and objects. That is what came to mind for us, but you could use any colors you like when coloring in this space scene! Do you think you will go for our idea or do you have some of your own?
6. Cartoon planets to color
There is an amazing collection of planets featured on this next page in our collection of free outer space coloring pages for kids. You wouldn’t see planets this close together in real life, but it makes for quite a sight to behold on this page! Each planet and star is beautifully detailed, and it could look great to try and use a different art tool or medium for each one in order to make them look even more unique. That’s one idea, but how else could you differentiate these planets?
7. Solar system coloring page
It’s a more peaceful scene in this outer space coloring sheet. The moon is taking a nap as an alien spaceship floats around looking down at Earth. For this more relaxed image, I think it would look great to use some cooler colors to show off that things are very calm in this outer space printable.
8. Rocket flying through the cosmos
There are more space travel adventures in this next outer space coloring page. If you could own your own space rocket, what colors would you want it to be? You can show off what your own personal spacecraft would look like in this outer space printable!
9. Astronaut in space coloring sheet
A spaceman is floating around looking at his rocket in this outer space coloring sheet. Let’s hope it doesn’t leave without him! You could try and use some acrylic paints for the moon and planets along with some crayons or coloring pencils to give this outer space printable a more textured sense of depth.
10. Space-themed coloring sheet
It would be amazing to get to fly through space in a rocket ship and explore unknown planets and stars! This is something most of us don’t get to do, but it can be fun to imagine what it would be like. This next page helps us to imagine what it would be like, as there is a cool rocket ship for you to color. It would be a good chance to imagine what your own rocket ship would look like if you could have one, and you can show us with the colors you choose!
11. Alien ships coloring page
There is an alien invasion about to happen in this next picture! There is a planet that looks a bit like our Earth, and there are 5 spaceships about to make contact. Let’s hope that they come in peace! This is a really fun scene, and we think it would look even better with all sorts of bright colors and art mediums. You could also add some extra details and maybe even draw some more spaceships to join the fleet. This should prove to be one of the coolest pages in the collection, and it will be interesting to see how you color it in!
12. Space exploration coloring sheet
There’s another encounter between a rocket and an alien spaceship in this outer space coloring page. There are also a few planets in the background, so maybe you could try and make each planet it’s own unique color scheme to help each one stand out. What colors will you choose to finish off this outer space printable?
13. Space journey coloring page
Another space man is having a great time floating around in space. For this outer space coloring page, you could be extra creative and draw in a face for this spaceman. You could even try to make it look like your own face so you can imagine what it would be like for you to be floating around among the stars as a space explorer!
14. A big rocket in space to color
We have a great close-up of a cool space rocket in this outer space printable. You could color in the planet behind the rocket in a bright color that contrasts the color that you choose for the rocket to really help it stand out. There are a lot of background objects and details, so you can really try and vary your color choices to make for a stunning outer space coloring page.
15. Planet Earth in space to color
We have a really unique and interesting view on display on this next outer space coloring printable. We are close up to the larger planet, and the small moon orbiting it is just in the frame. It’s a really cool perspective, and it gives us a great view of the details on the planet. The space between the planet and the moon is separated into sections, so you could maybe color each section its own set of colors! You can really get creative with a picture like this, so let your creativity flow and see what happens!
16. Space scene coloring page
There is so much going on with this awesome outer space scene! We have planets, a comet, some stars and even a bright sun. With so many objects and details, you have the chance to use all of your favorite colors and art mediums in your collection for this one. When coloring this or any other pages, you can also use extra crafts and art supplies to make them look even cooler. These could include anything from glitter to stickers and anything in between! What are some other cool crafts you could use for this page?
17. Rocket zooming through the cosmos
The spaceship in this next outer space coloring sheet has a very cool and unusual design! It looks like it comes from far in the future to me, and it looks like it’s moving super fast through the stars, so I think some bright reds, oranges and light greens could give this spacecraft both a sense of speed and a futuristic look. How will you color in this unusual spaceship?
18. An alien ship landed on the Moon
The aliens have landed in this last image in our collection of outer space coloring pages for kids. This alien ship seems to have landed on our moon and is looking down on Earth. For this alien ship, I think it would look great to use some of your brightest and most intense colors to give it an otherworldly feeling. Maybe you could color the spaceship with a different medium to the rest of the picture to help it stand out from its surroundings. We can’t wait to see your creative alien ships once you’ve finished this outer space printable!
19. Galaxy drawing to print
Next up, we have a stripy trio of planets for you to color! Planets can come in all manner of colors in real life, and there are infinite ways you could color these ones. If you feel like having some fun, maybe you could use colors to match the color schemes of certain striped animals on our planet. For example, you could make one black and white like a zebra and another orange and black like a tiger. That’s one quirky way you could color these planets, but what else can you think of?
20. A crazy drawing of outer space
This next outer space coloring page could be an interpretation of our own solar system! Just like ours, there is a bright star at the center, and the number of planets is just about right. If you would like to make this look like our solar system, you could color these to match our planets! You could look up a picture of our solar system to help you out. Do you think you will try to recreate our solar system or create a new one of your own?

After You Color Your Space Coloring Pages
- Turn art into décor: Frame a rocket, planet, or astronaut page to make a mini “mission control” wall in a bedroom or classroom.
- Create a DIY solar system: Color the Sun and eight planets, cut them out, and hang them in order with string to model orbit and scale.
- Make learning cards: On the back of each colored sheet, jot a fun fact (e.g., “Jupiter is the largest planet,” “A comet has a tail when it nears the Sun”).
- Build a space journal: Staple finished pages into a booklet; add captions like “Launch,” “Orbit,” “Moonwalk,” or “Re-entry.”
- Try mixed media: Add white gel-pen starbursts, cotton-ball nebulas, or a light watercolor wash for glowing galaxies.
- Paper & tools: Use thicker paper for markers; choose colored pencils for detailed star fields and crater textures.
- Color palettes: Use deep blues and purples for the void, bright oranges and yellows for the Sun and rockets, and icy grays for moons.
- Texture tricks: Stipple planets for rocky surfaces; blend gradients on gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter.
- Shadows & light: Add a light source to one side to make spacecraft and planets look 3D.
