Space Shuttle in Flight Coloring Page

Wow, look at that Space Shuttle in Flight coloring page. It really makes you feel like you are blasting off. The shuttle has big boosters and a tail, so kids can practice blocking in shapes and choosing colors for each part. Talk about the rocket flames, and try coloring them with yellow, orange, and red to show heat. Use gray and white for the shuttle body, and add metallic silver for the panels to make it look real. For classroom fun, place finished pages on a bulletin board to create a galaxy wall, or work in small groups to design mission patches to glue beside the shuttle. At home, this printable is great for a rainy afternoon, and you can pair it with a short story about astronauts or a picture book about space. As an extension, invite children to write a short flight log about where the shuttle is going, or build a 3D rocket from recycled materials and paint it to match their drawing. This activity is creative and inspiring, and it brings a tiny bit of space exploration into your hands.
