Outer Space worksheets for 3 year olds

19 outer space worksheets pitched at 3 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with two that step up for a child who is ready for more.

A astronaut floats weightless against a starry background, a ringed planet sits alongside a careful rendering of Earth, and there's a lighter, funnier side too, with a space dog in a helmet and a space cat astronaut kitted out for the cosmos.

They assume a child who copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes, which is typical at three. If that is not there yet, the age 2 sheets are the better place to start.

Sheets in this set include Galaxy Swirl Colouring Page, Sun and Planets Colouring Page and Sleepy Star Colouring Page. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.

Five to ten minutes at a time is plenty at this age, and going outside the lines is the expected outcome rather than a mistake. Print in greyscale to save ink, or slide the sheet into a plastic pocket and hand over a dry-wipe marker so the same page lasts a month.
