Shaded Florida State Map Coloring Page
Coloring ideas for Florida Maps
Use sunny yellow or orange to represent Florida’s warm climate, blue for its long coastlines, and green for the Everglades and tropical forests. Highlight cities like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa in vibrant colors, and decorate the map with drawings of palm trees, flamingos, oranges, or alligators. You can label the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, or trace the state’s peninsula shape for emphasis. Add nearby states and the Florida Keys for bonus geography practice!
On the back of the page, why not write a few fun facts about Florida, add drawings of what it's famous for, or create your own colorful version using your imagination?

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why aren’t Alaska and Hawaii in their real location on the map?
On this map, Alaska and Hawaii have been moved to keep all the states together in one compact image. In reality, Alaska is far to the northwest of the continent, above Canada, and Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far from California. This repositioning is a common layout trick to make the map easier to read.
- → Are these maps ideal for coloring?
Yes, these maps use black borders only with no fill background, making them perfect for coloring activities with crayons or markers.
- → Are these maps good for school projects?
Yes! The printable state maps can be used in classrooms, geography assignments, or homeschooling lessons.
- → What materials do I need to use these maps?
Just print them and use crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Lamination and dry-erase markers can make them reusable.
- → Can I resize or adjust these printables before printing?
Yes, you can change the scale or fit settings in your printer options to make the printables smaller or larger as needed. This works for coloring pages, mazes, sudoku, worksheets, and more.
- → How can I print these printables?
Click on the download PDF button to save the file to your device. Open it using a web browser or PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat Reader. Then, click the print icon or use the shortcut (usually Ctrl+P or Cmd+P), choose your printer, adjust settings (orientation, margins, number of copies, etc.), and print.
- → Why is there still a margin even when I selected full page with 0 margins?
This may happen if your printer doesn’t support borderless printing. Many home printers add a small automatic margin. To fix this, check if your printer allows borderless printing or adjust the layout to fit inside the printable area.
