Coloring order

Color the deep navy background first, leaving the big star and the small stars the white of the paper and coloring around them.
In the upper left corner, color the cross and X pattern red and blue, keeping the white bands between them.
Leave the big star at the bottom left and the scattered stars on the right white. Can you spot the smallest one?

Questions to talk about

How is the big star on the lower left different from the stars on the right?
If you drew lines between the stars, what shape would they make?
Have you ever noticed the brightest star in the night sky?

Take it further

Glue white paper stars of different sizes onto navy paper, connect some with lines, and give your own constellation a name.

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.
