Countdown Rocket Coloring Page

About this coloring page

Ten, nine, eight. This smiling rocket blasts upward with a flame at its tail, a round window in the middle and a fin on each side, passing three stars. Its clear shapes make a medium page.

Counting backward is harder than counting forward, and a rocket launch is the perfect excuse to practice. Crouch down together, count from ten to one, then shout blast off and stretch up tall. On the page, look for the circle of the window and the pointed nose. Yellow stars pop nicely against a dark blue night sky.

Fun fact

A rocket pushes hot gas out of its tail, and that pushes the rocket up.
