Astronaut Greeting a Little Alien
An astronaut and a little alien hold hands and greet each other.
In this coloring page an astronaut and a friendly alien stand side by side and hold one hand. The astronaut on the left waves with the free hand and smiles behind the helmet, with a small panel on the chest of the spacesuit. The alien on the right has two antennae with little balls at the tips, large oval eyes and a slim body with thin arms. They look as if they have just met. There is no further background, so both characters stand in the centre.
What can you see?
- A waving astronaut in a spacesuit with helmet and chest panel
- A little alien with two antennae and big eyes
- Two hands held together in a friendly greeting
The suit offers large white areas and often looks best left white or light grey. The alien can be coloured in a single bold fantasy colour such as green, purple or turquoise. You can fill the big eyes dark so the friendly look really stands out.
Who is it for?
There are two figures with medium-sized areas and a few finer lines on the hands and antennae. That makes the picture a good fit for children from about five years. Coloured pencils suit the faces, while wax crayons work for the large areas. The motif fits nursery, school and home, or a space-themed birthday.
Good to know
So far, people have not found any life beyond Earth. Yet researchers use telescopes to look for planets where life might be possible. It helps to tell solid knowledge from a guess: aliens are an idea, not a proven creature.
As a creative task you can add your own planet, stars or a spaceship and invent a background of your own.
How might an astronaut talk with a being who does not share the same language?
