Two Simple Airplanes Coloring Page

Two airplanes, drawn exactly alike, one above the other and both climbing the same direction. That is the whole of this Two Simple Airplanes Coloring Page, and the repetition is the reason to print it. Each aircraft has a rounded nose, one large porthole window, a delta wing with an engine underneath and a five pointed star on its tail, all in thick outlines. A free printable sheet in the two planes side by side coloring pages family, made for ages 2 to 8 and for two children who want the same page.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we entered the concept: "two bold simple airplanes stacked one above the other, both climbing the same way, thick clean outlines" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds.

Asking for both to climb "the same way" is what makes the pair work. Two aircraft facing each other would have read as a scene, with one chasing or meeting the other. Pointed the same direction and offset, they read as a formation, and more importantly as the same object drawn twice, which is what turns the sheet into a comparison.

About this two planes side by side coloring page

Everything on the upper aircraft is repeated on the lower one at the same size and the same angle. There is no difference between them anywhere on the sheet.

That makes this the best page in the collection for two children coloring together. Each one takes a plane, and at the end there are two versions of the identical drawing side by side, which is a far more interesting result than one finished page.

Counted out: each aircraft holds about nine areas. One rectangular cockpit pane sits near the nose, followed by a single round porthole drawn as two rings, one inside the other. The delta wing crosses the fuselage as one broad shape with a cylindrical engine tucked beneath its trailing edge. The tail fin carries a hollow five pointed star and a small horizontal fin juts out below it. The two planes overlap slightly at the middle of the page, and the entire lower third of the sheet is left blank. Both noses point to the upper right at the same angle, and the lower plane sits a little further left, so the pair steps down the page rather than stacking squarely one on top of the other. Every outline is drawn at the same heavy weight, with nothing finer anywhere on the sheet.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Color one plane and let a second person do the other without looking. Comparing the results afterward is the point of a page with two identical shapes on it, and it works just as well with one child doing both a week apart.

Or use the pair for a straight color exercise: the same plane in warm colors above and cool colors below. Identical outlines make the difference between the two families obvious in a way two different drawings never would.

Keep both stars the same color even if nothing else matches. It is the one detail that says these two aircraft belong to the same squadron.
