If your child spends their time scanning the night sky for UFOs or dreaming of traveling to a distant star system, they are going to love this collection. While rockets are all about the “blast off,” spaceships are about the journey through the deep, quiet corners of the galaxy.
I’ve put together 14 free spaceship coloring pages that range from classic “flying saucers” to advanced intergalactic cruisers. These are perfect for those moments when you need a high-engagement activity that doesn’t involve a screen. Just print them out, grab the silver and neon crayons, and let the mission begin!

What’s in This Spaceship Set?
I tried to include a mix of styles so that whether your child likes “cute and friendly” or “cool and technical,” there’s something for them:
- Classic UFOs: The iconic round ships with dome tops and glowing lights—perfect for using those bright, neon colors.
- Galactic Cruisers: Larger ships that look like they belong in a sci-fi movie, complete with complex wings and engine ports.
- Alien Pilots: Some pages feature goofy, friendly aliens at the helm, which are always a hit with younger kids.
- Planetary Backdrops: Several pages include the Solar System in the background, giving kids a chance to color rings, craters, and moons.
If your child finishes these and wants to see who is flying these ships, head over to our Astronaut Coloring Pages to meet the crew!
Creative Ways to Use These Pages
Coloring is great, but here are a few ways to turn these printables into a full afternoon of fun:
- Create a Star Chart: After coloring several spaceships, cut them out and glue them onto a large piece of black construction paper. Use a white chalk marker to draw “flight paths” between them.
- Laminated Play Mats: If you have a laminator, these make great play mats for toy figures. Kids can “land” their toy ships right on the colored pages.
- Space Diorama: Use a shoebox to create a 3D scene. Hang the colored and cut-out spaceships from the top of the box using a bit of black thread so they “float.”
- Quiet Time at the Restaurant: I always keep a few Rocket Ship Coloring Pages and spaceship sheets in my bag for when we’re waiting for food. It’s a lifesaver!
Learning While We Color: Spaceship Trivia
While the kids are busy deciding if their ship should be metallic silver or lime green, you can share these fun “space explorer” facts:
- Speed of Light: In many stories, spaceships go “warp speed.” In real life, light travels at about 186,000 miles per second!
- No Gravity: Inside a spaceship in orbit, things float! Imagine trying to eat a bowl of cereal when the milk and flakes are floating around your head.
- The “Goldilocks Zone”: Spaceships are often looking for planets in the “Goldilocks Zone”—not too hot and not too cold—where life might exist.
