Coloring order
- Leave the round head of the comet at the top nearly white, and let its long trailing streaks blend from pale blue into sky blue.
- Color the probe's round body light teal, the square panes of both solar panels purple, and the dish antenna a pale shade.
- Color the wavy-striped planet at the lower right in two alternating blues, and finish with yellow on the three big stars.
Questions to talk about
- The comet research probe is heading toward the comet. What will it look at up close?
- What shape is the comet's long tail? Can you draw it in the air?
- What do you think the dish antenna does? Have you seen something like it?
Take it further
Add a paper dish and square panels to a cardboard tube for a probe, then follow a friend trailing a ribbon tail like a comet.
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.
