This star clipart page holds 12 night sky pictures: a smiling yellow star, a shiny gold reward star, a shooting star, sparkles, a sleepy crescent moon and a full set of moon phases. Each one is a transparent PNG, so a star or moon drops onto a dark slide, a kraft paper card or a worksheet without a white square behind it.
The Download PNG button saves the file, and Copy drops the star onto your open page in one step. Moon pictures look best with the chalkboard preview turned on, since a dark sky suits them. For daytime sky pictures, see our sun clipart, and for planets and rockets, visit the space clipart page.

Star and Moon Ideas by Grade
- Ages 3 to 5: The cute star and the sleepy moon make good job chart pictures and sticker rewards. Talk about day and night with a moon on one side of a page and a sun on the other.
- Grades 1 and 2: Use the three colored stars for pattern and counting practice. The star outline works as a name star for the first week of school.
- Grades 3 to 5: Pair the moon phases row and the realistic full moon with a month of moon watching. Students draw what they see each night and match it to the chart.
- Middle school: The silhouette border and the retro sparkles keep club flyers and award slides tidy.
Printing and Cutting Star Shapes
Each picture saves as a 1000 pixel square PNG. That prints crisp at around 3 inches across when your printer runs at 300 dpi, which is the right size for reward stickers, gift tags and bookmark ends. On slides you can make them as big as you like.
Five-point stars have sharp inside corners, so snip those with small pointed scissors and stop right at the corner instead of cutting past it. The gold star sticker comes with its own white rim, so follow that rim with your scissors. For star outlines that kids color, print in black ink only and use heavy paper if they plan to use markers.
To hang stars from the ceiling, print two copies, glue them back to back over a piece of string, and trim. A paper moon looks great on a dark blue door next to a few cloud shapes from our cloud and rainbow clipart set.
Colors That Make Stars and Moons Glow

Questions people ask
Can I use this star clipart for my class or my child's party?
Yes. Every star and moon here is free for family crafts, lessons, school events and other projects that earn no money. A credit line is kind but optional. Before a star goes on anything for sale, ask us on the Contact page, and never pass the files on or sell them as a set of your own.
Where is the star clipart black and white?
Look at the final group on this page. It has a plain five-point star outline, a half moon outline with a face and a black star border. The two outlines are ready to color, and the border is good for cutting.
Is there a star PNG transparent file I can put on a dark slide?
The files have no background at all, which lets each star rest right on a navy or black slide with no box around it. Press Copy and paste it straight in, then resize from a corner so it keeps its shape.
Which moon clipart shows the moon phases?
The moon phases row in the moon section shows all eight phases from new moon to full moon and back. It is wide, so give it a full row on a slide or a long strip of paper. The realistic full moon pairs well with it for science lessons.
Do you have shooting star clipart and sparkle clipart?
Yes. The doodle shooting star has a rainbow tail, and the retro sparkles come as a group of three four-point shapes. Both work as small accents next to titles, names and new words.
How can I turn a star into a reward sticker?
Download the gold star sticker or the cute star, print it on full-sheet sticker paper about one to two inches wide, and cut along the white edge. A sheet of 20 small stars fits on one page.
