These free printable space coloring pages bring together the two things little kids beg us to draw most: cute animals and outer space. We design every page by hand here at our small family studio, so each one has those big, bold outlines and plenty of open space that make coloring feel easy and fun for ages 3 to 8.
Think a puppy waving from a rocket, a kitten floating in zero gravity, and a bunny hugging a friendly alien. Print as many as you like, grab the crayons, and let your little astronaut take off.

What you'll find on these printable space coloring pages
This set has eight original designs, each one a single cute scene on its own page so there’s no crowding and nothing to overwhelm small hands. Every picture is an adorable animal doing something out of this world.
- Puppy astronaut rocket — a happy pup blasting off in a chunky little rocket.
- Kitten floating in zero gravity — paws out, whiskers up, drifting through space.
- Bunny alien hug — a soft bunny giving a squishy alien a big squeeze.
- Bear cub rocket — a round little cub ready for liftoff.
- Panda alien handshake — first contact, panda style.
- Fox moon buggy — a clever fox cruising the craters.
- Penguin spacewalk tether — a penguin tethered to its ship on a space stroll.
- Elephant UFO peeking — a curious elephant peeking out of a flying saucer.
Because we draw these ourselves, the shapes stay simple and the lines stay thick — exactly the kind of page a preschooler can finish and feel proud of.
Why bold & easy works so well for ages 3-8
Tiny hands are still learning to grip a crayon and aim it. When the outlines are thin and the scene is busy, kids color outside the lines, get frustrated, and walk away. We make the opposite on purpose.
- Big thick outlines give a clear edge to color up to, so staying inside the lines actually happens.
- One picture per page keeps the focus simple and the result satisfying.
- Lots of open space means even a few scribbles look finished and bright.
There’s a quiet learning win, too. Coloring these pages builds fine motor control, pencil grip, and focus — all the little skills that help later with writing. Mostly, though, it builds confidence, because your child gets to say I did it at the end of every page.
How to print and color these space pages
You don’t need anything fancy. These printables are made for a regular home printer.
- Print on plain white paper at US Letter size — black and white is all you need.
- Crayons and colored pencils are perfect for the youngest kids; washable markers work great for older ones (slip a spare sheet underneath so marker doesn’t bleed through).
- Print a few copies of a favorite so siblings can color side by side, or so one page can be redone better.
- Laminate a couple and add dry-erase markers for a reusable, wipe-clean activity on car trips and at restaurants.
- Stack the eight pages, staple the left edge, and you’ve made your child a little homemade coloring book.
They’re a tidy fit for classrooms and story time, too — easy to hand out and quick to finish during a space or animals theme week.
A little space fun while you color
Half the fun is chatting about space while the crayons are out. A few kid-friendly facts to sprinkle in:
- In space there’s no up or down, which is why our kitten gets to float every which way.
- Real astronauts wear a tether on spacewalks — just like our penguin — so they don’t drift away from their ship.
- The Moon is covered in dust and craters, the perfect bumpy ride for a fox in a moon buggy.
