Our newest collection of space color and planet coloring pages is not just a fun activity but offers a treasure trove of learning benefits for children.
This fun color adventure is a great way to bolster fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Plus, it serves as a wonderful tool to reinforce number recognition and math skills in a friendly environment, making them a hot new color activity that combines learning with a relaxing adventure.
These beautiful color by number pages are designed to cater to kids of all ages, but these particular ones are more suited for older kids who are familiar with their times tables.
What Age Is It Suitable For?
With these planet color by number pages, the twist here is the multiplication aspect, which takes these number worksheets a notch higher.
In the UK, multiplication is emphasised around year 3, and in the United States, multiplication is usually introduced to students in the 2nd grade, around the age of 7-8. It is during this time that students start learning the basics of multiplication, and as they progress to the 3rd grade, they delve deeper into learning multiplication tables, usually up to 10×10.
So overall these color by number worksheets are perfect for kids of around 7 years old and upwards, and they still have benefit all the way through primary school and beyond as multiplication is a key skill that really benefits from reinforcement.
If you have younger kids who are keen on maths, then of course they may be suitable for them too. Every child is different.

These outer space themes are a perfect way to introduce your children to learning through a medium that is both fun and educational.
It’s more than just a number activity; it’s a chance for your child to become a master artist, filling in various pictures with a palette of beautiful colors as per the color code provided. It’s the correct answer to your coloring needs! These coloring sheets are a star in fostering a greater understanding of multiplication, as there is lots of practice included in each one.
How to Use the Color by Multiplication Worksheets
On these color by multiplication worksheets, each color has a range of numbers – rather than just one number
If the answer to the multiplication problem shown in a section falls within a certain range, then you pick the color of that range.
We will use the rocket color by number page below to explain.
For example, if a section has the problem 20×5 – the answer is 100, and there is a dark blue crayon showing the numbers 75-100 so you’ll color the section in that color.
Let’s take some of the stars –
8×6 = 48
9×6 =54
6×10 = 60
7×8 = 56
7×7 =49
5×10 = 50
6×9 = 54
so all of these fit into the 46-60 range and the stars will be colored yellow.
