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.

Awesome! This segues with the current Star Wars craze and draws the kids so nicely into learning more! Thank you!
Thank-you so much for sharing these resources. We are homeschooling our 3 boys, ages 4, 6 and 9 (due to the pandemic). We’re currently doing a space unit and I’m looking forward to using these ideas!
