50+ (mostly) free Space Printables for kids

Sharing is caring - thank you for spreading the word!

Long-time readers will know that I love creating educational printables to share here at Gift of Curiosity. And very astute readers may remember that my daughter has a real fondness for learning about space.

When we did our space unit a while back, I searched for printables I could use to help my kids learn about space. I also created several space-themed printables of my own (which you can find here).

Today I have complied a list of over 50 (mostly) free space printables you can download and use with your kids. This list includes Montessori 3-part cards, printables to learn about the solar system, printables to learn about the moon, and printables to learn about constellations, space games, and much more.

Bookmark this page or save it to Pinterest, because you’ll find a wealth of ideas here for encouraging kids’ interest in and developing their knowledge of space.
