Alien Pixel Art

Looking for a fun and creative screen-free activity? This Alien Pixel Art is a free printable PDF that’s perfect for kids who love drawing, outer space, and mysterious creatures! With two grids included—one blank and one with numbers—children can recreate a cute green alien square by square, either independently or with guidance. It’s an ideal art and logic exercise to keep little minds engaged while having fun.

Alien Pixel Art – Free Printable Activity for Kids

In this printable alien-themed activity, kids are invited to copy a pixelated alien image using one of two provided grids. The first is a blank grid, encouraging kids to observe and recreate the design themselves—great for building attention to detail. The second is a numbered grid where each number matches a specific color, making it easier for younger children to follow and color accurately.

Whether your child enjoys art, puzzles, or aliens from faraway galaxies, this activity offers a fun challenge that stimulates concentration and spatial reasoning. It’s a simple yet effective way to introduce children to pixel art, combining creativity with logic and fine motor practice.

This space-themed alien worksheet is especially suitable for kids aged 5 and up, thanks to the two levels of difficulty. The color-by-number option helps younger artists, while the blank grid gives older kids more freedom to work on observation and pixel-by-pixel recreation. Plus, it’s quick to print and use—perfect for a rainy afternoon, classroom activity, or travel entertainment.

If your child dreams of helping extraterrestrial visitors, they’ll love our Alien Treasure Hunt mystery game, where kids must assist a lost alien in finding his way home after a meteor shower disrupted his mission.
