Shaded Idaho State Map Coloring Page
Coloring ideas for Idaho Maps
Use shades of green for Idaho’s forests, dark blue for lakes like Coeur d'Alene, and golden brown for the rolling hills and farmlands. For maps with labeled cities, color each dot or label in a different cheerful color. On blank outlines, you can add drawings of potatoes, mountains, or rivers to reflect Idaho’s natural and agricultural identity. To boost learning, write the names of surrounding states in the empty spaces and add a compass rose or small icons like trees or animals!
On the back of the page, why not write a few fun facts about Idaho, add drawings of what it's famous for, or create your own colorful version using your imagination?
What is Idaho?
Idaho is a state in the northwestern United States, bordered by Washington and Oregon to the west, Montana and Wyoming to the east, Utah and Nevada to the south, and Canada to the north. Its capital and largest city is Boise, located near the southwestern corner of the state.
Idaho is known for its rugged landscapes, mountains, lakes, and vast forests. It's also famous for producing potatoes and outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and skiing. The state flower is the syringa, and the state bird is the mountain bluebird. Idaho has a population of over 2 million (as of July 2024).

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.
