Space Coloring Pages

Space sheets have an advantage nothing else here does: the background is meant to be dark. That gives a child permission to cover most of the page in one colour, which is enormously satisfying at four and almost impossible on a drawing of a cat. Stars and planets fill the corners so nothing is left stranded in the middle of a white page.

Space sheets are the ones to reach for when a child wants to cover a lot of paper quickly. The background is meant to be dark, so filling most of the page in one colour is correct rather than lazy — enormously satisfying at four, and impossible on a drawing of a cat. They also suit metallic and gel pens better than the rest of the library, because the large flat areas give those pens somewhere to sit.
