About this coloring page
In zero gravity snacks don't stay on the table. The kitty floats through the cabin reaching for a star-shaped cookie, while more cookies, a juice box with a straw and a spoon drift around. The cabin has a padded seat with a seat belt, a fold-out table, a cupboard and a porthole with a planet and stars. It is a funny page that leads to a great question for kids: why does everything float?
Printing and coloring tips
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.
Ideas for this page
- Give each floating cookie its own sprinkle colors.
- Explain zero gravity with a simple test: drop a ball on Earth, then imagine it never falls.
Questions
Why is everything floating?
In orbit, astronauts and everything around them are falling together, so things seem to float. That is why snacks drift around the cabin on this page.
