Fun facts to share while you color
The sun is so large that approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it. Every second, the sun converts 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion, which is what creates all the light and heat we receive on Earth. The sun's core temperature reaches about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, and it's about 93 million miles away from us. Despite seeming permanent, the sun is actually about halfway through its life cycle and will continue shining for another 5 billion years.
Coloring ideas and color combinations
Not sure where to begin? Try coloring the main subject first, then work outward to the background so your brightest colors stand out. You can stick to realistic colors, or go wild with rainbow shades and glitter gel pens for a look that is all your own. Warm colors like red, orange, and yellow make a page feel cheerful and full of energy, while cool blues, greens, and purples give a calm, gentle feeling. For a neat finish, color lightly first and add a second layer where you want the shade to look deeper. Older kids and adults can add patterns, dots, and tiny details in the open spaces to make each sun design unique. There is no wrong way to do it, so experiment and have fun.
How to print and color these pages
Printing is simple. Click the download button under any sheet to open the print ready PDF, then send it to your printer on regular paper. If you want the brightest, cleanest lines, choose the highest quality print setting and use plain white paper. You can also print at a smaller size to make a coloring booklet, or print several to a page for quick mini sheets. Prefer to color on a screen instead? Tap the Color online button under any page to open our free coloring tool, pick a color from the palette, and fill each area with a single click or tap. The tool works on phones, tablets, and computers, and when you are done you can save your finished picture or send it to the printer.
Tips for parents and teachers
If you are coloring with younger children, start with the simpler sun designs and work up to the busier ones as their confidence grows. Markers and crayons are great for bold, easy pages, while colored pencils suit the detailed sheets where small areas need a steady hand. Teachers can print a full class set in a couple of minutes, and the pages make an easy, low cost activity for indoor recess, early finishers, or a quiet end to the day. Parents can keep a small stack on hand for quiet time, road trips, restaurants, waiting rooms, and birthday parties. To cut down on mess, lay an old placemat or sheet of newspaper under the page, and keep a small cup nearby for crayon bits. Most of all, remember there is no wrong way to color, so let everyone work in their own style and at their own pace.
