This collection has 22 free sun and moon coloring pages: eight ornate celestial faces drawn for older colorers, eight simple sun-and-star sheets for young children, four geometric designs and two cartoon faces. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
The sun and moon are one of the few subjects where the same idea works at both ends of the age range, and this set covers both without pretending they are the same. The ornate pages give the sun a human face with flowing hair, curling rays and swirls packed into every gap — closer to a tattoo design than a kids’ printable. The simple pages reduce it to a circle with triangle rays, a crescent and three stars. Look at the grid before printing; the difference is obvious at a glance and it decides whether a page takes five minutes or an hour.
What’s in this collection
Eight ornate faces, eight simple sheets, four geometric designs and two cartoons — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Ornate celestial faces
Eight pages draw the sun and moon as characters with faces: a sun with long flowing hair and pointed rays, a crescent moon with closed eyes nested in swirling clouds, a sun and moon overlapping so the two profiles share one circle, a face inside a lotus. Fine lines, no large flat areas, and enough small enclosed spaces to keep an adult busy for an evening.
Simple sun and star sheets
Eight pages cut it right back: a plain sun with triangular rays above a cratered moon and two stars, a crescent with a scatter of stars, a sun rising over hills with clouds either side. Nothing is smaller than a crayon tip. These are the pages for ages 4 to 7, and they take a marker without any bleed.
Geometric designs and cartoon faces
Four pages treat the subject as pattern rather than picture: a sun drawn as a ring of repeating crescents, a wheel of circles built like a mandala, a star framed inside an oval border, a moon and sun split across a divided circle. Two more go cartoon — a grinning sun and a moon holding a phone, both with round eyes and thick outlines.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. Print the ornate faces at best quality — their swirls run close together and draft mode merges them into grey.
FAQ
Are these pages for children or adults?
Both, but not on the same sheet. Eight are ornate enough for adult coloring; eight are simple enough for a four-year-old. The grid shows which is which at a glance.
Is there a page with both the sun and the moon together?
Several — including two where the profiles overlap inside a single circle, which is the most striking page in the set once colored in contrasting tones.
Are there mandala-style pages?
Four geometric designs, built from repeating crescents, rings and framed stars.
Do I need a color printer?
No. Every page prints in black and white; the color comes from your pencils or crayons.
For more pattern work, the geometric coloring pages hold the mandalas on their own, and the solar system coloring pages take the same subject as astronomy rather than decoration.
