Take a trip through space and learn about our solar system in the “Eight Planets” video, and then put you newfound knowledge to the test with the activity below! Working in tandem, these resources offer a valuable introduction to science education and will help develop vocabulary, inspire curiosity and more!

Part 1 – The Coloring Book:

Download and print out the “Eight Planets” coloring book. The book features the song’s simple lyrics and fun black-and-white illustrations. Use the video as a helpful reference along the way!

Part 2 – The Craft:

All the materials you need are below. Most everything can be found around the house or at your local store. Get creative, improvise and let us know what works for you!

Eight Planets Craft materials
  • Cardboard box
  • Paint and paint brush
  • Tennis ball
  • Star-themed stickers
  • Glue
Eight Planets Craft step 1
  • Lay your cardboard box flat and start painting! We mixed together some dark and light blues to capture the space background.
Eight Planets Craft step 3
  • Don’t forget to paint your tennis ball too – ours is green and blue to represent Earth! We cut off about a quarter of the ball to make the gluing easier – a parent should assist there. Alternatively, feel free to keep it even simpler by painting or drawing Earth and the other planets.
  • For your finishing touches, start applying the star-themed stickers.
Eight Planets Craft final
  • You’re all done – fold and staple together your finished coloring book, and find a spot around the house to show off your great work!

5 Benefits of Our Free Coloring Pages https://mothergooseclub.com/blog/5-benefits-of-our-free-coloring-pages/ Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:26:55 +0000 http://www.mothergooseclub.com/?p=9268 5 Benefits of Our Free Coloring Pages

Did you know that our website includes over 80 free, downloadable coloring pages, all based on our videos? Coloring is a highly beneficial activity for early learners, so we hope parents find these resources useful. Pair them with the videos for the ultimate interactive, family activity!

Below, learn more about the benefits of these coloring pages, along with some tips on how to use them.

1. Improve Motor Skills

Holding crayons, manipulating them in and around the lines and frequently alternating colors all develop a child’s fine motor skills. These fine motor skills will eventually play a critical role in more advanced handwriting development. So continue to encourage purposeful coloring!

2. Improve Hand-Eye Coordination

Practicing staying inside the lines and recognizing color patterns are a terrific boost for a young learner’s hand-eye coordination. Developing this skill early on will also prove beneficial for handwriting development!

3. Stimulate Creativity

Child Coloring

There’s no right or wrong answer on a coloring page. Feel free to provide guidance and encouragement along the way, but coloring is a great opportunity for kids to freely express their creative side.

Inspired by our nursery rhyme videos, all of our coloring pages also include lyrics – so practice your rhyming and reading at the same time!

4. Relieve Stress

Coloring can be quite soothing, even for adults! A successfully colored page requires a certain amount of physical and mindful calm. It encourages kids to focus their energy on one task with a clear end. And that end result can bring a great sense of satisfaction!

5. Patience, Young Grasshopper

Coloring can be soothing and stress relieving, but more detailed pages can also be challenging and tedious. To end up with your desired masterpiece, you’ll have to be meticulous and patient along the way!

Share With Us!

Has your family tried our free coloring pages yet? We’d love to see your masterpieces! Share your thoughts and creations with us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using #mothergooseclub.

Happy coloring!
