APS at Home brings activities and crafts from the APS into your homes and classrooms. From coloring sheets to at home experiments, the Education department will continue to update this page with fun and useful downloads for those of all ages. Featured here is our Color our Collections series which has a variety of coloring sheets from our digital library that range from Peale's Mastodon to Buzz Aldrin during the moon landing!

People of all ages love coloring as a wind-down or learning activity. Take some time to color in these downloadable pages made from items in the APS collections. When you're done, be sure to share our creation with us via social media!
