Coloring order

Start with the crescent moon, the ringed planet and the stars in the upper sky. Try yellow for the moon and orange for the planet.
Divide Nari, winking as she peers through the telescope, the long white tube and the three-legged tripod into their own colors.
Last, color Toto on the box, the rooftop railing and the distant buildings, and fill the stars in yellow one by one.

Questions to talk about

What star or planet do you think Nari is looking for through the telescope?
What kind of friends might live on a planet with rings?
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and made a wish?

Take it further

Play at rooftop stargazing: hold a paper tube, like a toilet-roll tube, up to one eye and find three interesting things around the room to talk about.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
