Description
How to use it: Solar System Giant Coloring Poster
In short: 16 printable pages that become one large solar system picture. Ages 4-9. PDF download – prints on US Letter or A4.
Planets are hard to get a feel for on a worksheet – everything is the same size and sits in a neat row. A poster that covers half a wall does a better job: Jupiter really is enormous next to Mercury, and the children coloring it spend twenty minutes noticing that.

Questions teachers ask
Are the planets labeled?
The poster is an illustration to color. Add labels yourself if you want it to double as an anchor chart.

Yes. Your license covers unlimited printing for your own classroom or family.
