World Space Week is celebrated every year from October 4th to 10th, and it’s the perfect time to spark curiosity about space in young children.
Preschoolers are naturally fascinated by rockets, stars, the moon, and planets. Colouring pages are a simple and fun way to introduce them to these exciting ideas while supporting creativity and early learning.
Space-Themed Colouring Pages Exercises…
- Fine Motor Skills – Colouring strengthens hand muscles and improves pencil control.
