Ways to use this collection
This set brings the Sun, the eight planets from Mercury to Neptune and a black hole together as smiling space friends. Ringed Saturn and an Earth with oceans and clouds are here too, and Jupiter, with its stripes, big red spot and small moons all around, has the most to color. Venus and the black hole are built from large, roomy shapes that make an easy first page.
Activity ideas
- Hang the planet pages on a wall in order from closest to the Sun to farthest, and let children match each one with a name card to check the order.
- Color Earth's oceans, land and clouds separately, then set it beside Mars and Jupiter. Talk about how the colors differ and which planet children would most like to visit.
- Color the swirling disk of the black hole in purple, orange and blue, then have everyone write one question on a card and collect them all in a class question box.
Tip Jupiter and Uranus have the most stripes, so allow extra time, and start with Venus or the black hole, whose simple shapes work well even for a five-year-old.
