5 creative projects kids can make with spaceship coloring pages
These ideas use supplies you probably already have at home - scissors, glue, tape, and a few extras here and there. They work just as well at the kitchen table as they do in a classroom setting.
Build a 3D Spaceship That Stands Up
Pick one of the simpler spaceship designs - the cartoon rocket with the big eyes and helmet works great for this. Color it in, cut it out, and fold a cardboard strip into an L-shaped stand to glue behind it. Make a few and line them up for a mini fleet on a shelf or windowsill.
You'll need:
Printed spaceship coloring page
Crayons or markers
Scissors
Thin cardboard (cereal box works)
Glue stick
How to do it:
Color and cut out the spaceship.
Cut a cardboard strip about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Fold it into an L shape and glue the short side to the back of the spaceship.
Press flat until dry, then stand it up.
Kids love lining these up on their desk like a space fleet ready for launch.
Spaceship Craft Idea
Spaceship Racing Game Board
Use the two astronauts racing spaceships side by side page as the start of a homemade board game. Color it in and glue it to the center of a large piece of paper, then draw a winding race track from one edge to the other with numbered squares.
You'll need:
Printed racing spaceships coloring page
Large sheet of paper or poster board
Markers
A die and small game pieces
Glue stick
How to do it:
Color the racing spaceships page and glue it to the center of the poster board.
Draw a winding path of squares around the spaceships from start to finish.
Add fun space hazards like "asteroid field - go back 2" or "warp speed - jump ahead 3."
Take turns rolling the die to race your game pieces to the finish.
This one keeps kids busy for way longer than the coloring alone.
Outer Space Window Display
Color several spaceship pages - the sleepy spaceship with droopy eyes and the bubble UFO with the astronaut waving are good picks. Cut them out and tape them to a window so the light shines through. Add tissue paper planets and foil stars around them for a full space scene.
You'll need:
3-4 printed spaceship coloring pages
Crayons or colored pencils
Scissors
Clear tape
Tissue paper scraps and aluminum foil (optional)
How to do it:
Color and cut out each spaceship.
Cut circles from tissue paper for planets and small stars from foil.
Tape the spaceships and decorations to the window in a scattered arrangement.
Step back and admire your space scene from inside and out.
It looks especially cool from outside when the room light is on at night.
Mission Control Storybook
Print five or six different spaceship pages and color each one as a different scene in a story. The shuttle taking off past the sun can be page one, the shuttle approaching the space station can be the middle, and the astronaut stepping onto the moon can be the ending. Staple them together and write a sentence or two on each page.
You'll need:
5-6 printed spaceship coloring pages
Crayons or markers
Stapler
Pencil or pen for writing
How to do it:
Pick pages that could tell a story in order - launch, flying through space, arriving somewhere.
Color each page and write one or two sentences at the bottom describing what's happening.
Add a construction paper cover with a title and the author's name.
Staple all pages together along the left side.
Younger kids can dictate the story while a grown-up writes it down for them.
Spaceship Crew Paper Puppets
The animal-shaped spaceship with the kids inside and the best bros in the dome spacecraft pages are full of fun characters. Color them, cut out individual figures and ships, and glue them to popsicle sticks. Kids can act out space missions, docking at stations, and meeting friendly aliens.
You'll need:
2-3 printed spaceship coloring pages with characters
Crayons or markers
Scissors
Popsicle sticks or straws
Tape or glue
How to do it:
Color the pages, focusing on the characters and their spaceships.
Carefully cut out each character or ship as a separate piece.
Tape or glue a popsicle stick to the back of each cutout.
Use a table or couch as a "stage" and act out a space adventure.
Pair these with a shoebox painted black and you've got an instant puppet theater.
The Space Shuttle program ran 135 missions over 30 years before retiring in 2011. During that time, shuttles helped build the International Space Station piece by piece - carrying up modules, solar panels, and supplies that astronauts assembled while floating in orbit.
There's plenty more to explore beyond spaceships. Browse the full Space Adventures coloring pages collection for astronauts, planets, aliens, and more cosmic fun your kids will love.
