Who These Worksheets Are For

These planets worksheets for kindergarten are designed for young learners who are just beginning to learn about the solar system.

They work especially well for:

• kindergarten students
• grade 1 and grade 2 children who are still getting familiar with the planets

These worksheets are meant to be a simple introduction, not something kids need prior knowledge for.

Because of the age level, some guidance from a parent or teacher will be helpful. You can:

• read instructions together
• talk through the activities
• help with things like cutting or understanding clues

At the same time, many parts of the worksheets can be done independently, giving kids a chance to build confidence as they work.

Trace and Color Planets Worksheet

This first worksheet helps kids learn the names and colors of the planets while practicing tracing.

Kids will:

• trace the name of each planet
• color each planet
• follow the order from the Sun

As they color, this is a great opportunity to talk about what each planet looks like.

You can:

• show a picture of the planets
• use a book or reference page
• or simply describe the colors together

For example:

• Mars is red
• Earth is blue and green
• Saturn has rings

This helps kids start noticing identifying features, not just names.

It’s a simple activity, but it builds:

• name recognition
• early science understanding
• and fine motor skills through tracing and coloring

Cut and Paste Planets Worksheet

This cut and paste planets worksheet helps kids learn the order of the planets.

Kids will:

• cut out each planet
• paste them in order from the Sun

This printable includes:

• a version with planet names (easier)
• a version without names (more of a challenge)

This is a great hands-on way to practice:

• sequencing
• recognizing planets
• fine motor skills

Planets and Their Names Worksheet

This worksheet helps kids match each planet to its name.

Kids will:

• look at each planet image
• draw a line to the correct name

The planets are arranged in order, which helps reinforce learning naturally while they work.

Planet Facts Worksheet

This worksheet introduces simple planet facts in an easy-to-understand way.

For each clue, kids will color the planet that matches.

They will be thinking about things like:

• the biggest planet
• our home planet
• the closest planet to the Sun
• the red planet

This makes it a gentle way to start connecting:

• facts to planet names
• basic science concepts

Because it’s a coloring activity, it also feels more relaxed and manageable, especially for younger kids who are just beginning to learn about the solar system.

How to Use These Planets Worksheets

You can use them for:

• homeschool science lessons
