Fun Facts About Astronauts

A spacesuit is more than clothing. NASA explains that a fully equipped spacesuit works like a tiny spacecraft for one astronaut (NASA spacesuit facts).
Some astronaut training happens in a huge pool. NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory is used for spacewalk training and has a pool that is 202 feet long (NASA Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory).
The International Space Station travels around Earth about every 90 minutes, so astronauts on board can see many sunrises and sunsets in one day (NASA space station overview).
Mars is called the Red Planet because its soil looks like rusty iron. That makes the Mars base coloring page a fun place to use warm space colors (NASA Mars for kids).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these astronaut coloring pages free for classroom use?

Yes. Teachers, parents and caregivers may print the pages for personal and classroom use. They work well for space units, quiet tables, early finisher folders or a simple printable activity before reading a book about astronauts.

Do the PDFs come in US Letter and A4 sizes?

Yes. Each printable card is prepared for US Letter and includes an A4 option. Use portrait orientation and fit to page, especially if your printer adds a wide margin around the edge.

What ages are these astronaut coloring pages best for?

The set is arranged for ages 3-10. Ages 3-5 can start with the big waving astronaut and simple rocket, ages 5-7 can try the Moon and launch scenes, and ages 7-10 can enjoy the detailed space scenes.

Can I print just one astronaut coloring page?

Yes. Choose the card you want, then use its Print or Download PDF button. This is handy when one child wants the rocket launch and another wants the Mars base without printing the whole set.

Are the astronaut and rocket designs original?

Yes. The suits, rockets, flags and spaceships are our own kid-friendly designs. Kids can decorate each helmet, rocket window and blank flag however they like.
