❓Why Isn’t Neptune or Uranus Included?

This particular worksheet only shows six planets — it's likely part of a series or focuses on the most recognizable ones. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are often introduced first due to their visibility and distinct features.

If you're using this with a child, encourage them to:
- Color accurately based on what they know about the planets.
- Say the planet's name aloud while tracing.
