The Moon Coloring Page

The Moon drawn as a full sphere covered in craters of every size, from a few large ringed basins down to pits barely bigger than the pencil tip. There is almost nothing else on the page, which makes it quietly one of the hardest here — it is all texture and no big easy shape, and a child who wants to finish fast will find nowhere to do it. For a child who likes detail it is ideal, and shading in grey rather than filling in colour is a legitimate and rather good way to approach it. Worth looking at the real thing the same evening if the sky is clear: the large dark patches visible from the ground are on this page, and recognising one is a genuinely exciting moment. Print on A4 or US Letter. It is also the only object in this category you can see with your own eyes from a garden, which makes it the easiest one to follow up on.
