Your printable

A one-page black-and-white PDF with a photo box, name and age fields, male/female checkboxes, a current occupation field, and two lined writing prompts about becoming an astronaut and going to space.

How to use it

1. Print the application and fill in the pretend applicant’s details.
2. Add a small photo or draw a self-portrait in the photo box.
3. Complete the two writing prompts, then color the astronaut illustrations and star border.

Use the worksheet during a space theme or a pretend mission interview. Invite children to explain one reason they would like to become an astronaut and describe what they would do in space.

Printing tips

Print in portrait orientation and check the preview before printing. Use “Fit to printable area” if the border is clipped. Regular printer paper works well; cardstock is an option for a sturdier finished project.
