This is a free printable Hurricane coloring page. It has 22 separate areas to color, medium outlines, and covers about 6.9% of the sheet in ink. It prints on one page at 300 DPI on both US Letter and A4.

Printing this page

Standard 20 lb / 80 gsm copy paper handles this page. If you plan to use markers rather than pencils, 24 lb / 90 gsm will stop the color showing through.

Print at 100% scale rather than "fit to page". Both downloads already leave a 0.25 in (6 mm) margin, which is inside the unprintable edge of every common home and office printer, so nothing gets clipped. The file contains no color at all, so the black-only setting prints it faster and cheaper.

If it does not print right

If the lines print gray rather than black, check that the printer is not in draft mode and that you have not accidentally selected a color profile: a pure black-and-white file sent through a color profile can come out as a muddy composite black built from all four inks.

What's on the page

There are 22 enclosed areas on this page: the separate pockets the outlines divide the drawing into. That is what decides whether a page feels quick or absorbing, far more than the subject does.

The narrowest channel between two lines measures about 2.64 mm at full print size. We measure this on every page because it is what decides whether a marker will bleed across an outline.

The composition is centered, which is worth knowing before you print: it determines how much white space sits around the edge of the drawing.

What to color it with

For this page we would use almost anything: crayons, pencils, markers or paint all work on a page with lines and spaces this size.

Who this page suits

We put this page at roughly the 2-4 age range, based on the line weight and how many separate areas it has, not on the subject. Plenty of adults color pages meant for children and the other way round; the band is a starting point.

In a nursery or reception setting this is fine-motor practice more than art. The wide spaces let a child succeed with a fist grip, and success is what keeps them coming back to the table.

What to look for in this drawing

There is no reference to be faithful to here, which is liberating and also the hard part. Give yourself one rule before you start: no two touching shapes share a color, say, and the page will hold together.

How to color this page well

With only a handful of areas to fill, the thing that decides how this page looks is color choice rather than technique. Pick three or four colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel and it will read as deliberate; grab whatever is nearest and it will read as random. Fill the biggest shape first: it sets the tone for everything you choose afterwards.

Stay just inside the outlines rather than aiming exactly at them. A one-millimetre margin of white next to the line reads as crisp; crossing the line reads as messy.

What to do with it once it is colored

Abstract pages make good gift wrap and book covers once colored, because there is no right way up. Cut one into strips and weave them for a simple paper mat.

Printed at full size the artwork sits within a 0.25 in margin, so there is a clean border to cut along if you are mounting or framing it.

How to color the Hurricane page

Print it at full size. Standard 20 lb / 80 gsm copy paper handles this page. If you plan to use markers rather than pencils, 24 lb / 90 gsm will stop the color showing through. Set your printer to 100% or "Actual size" (never "Fit to page") so the page prints at true 300 DPI and the right size for US Letter or A4.
Choose your coloring tools. For this page, reach for almost anything: crayons, pencils, markers or paint all work on a page with lines and spaces this size.
Plan your colors. There is no correct scheme here: pick a small palette of three or four colors and repeat it across the design so the whole page still feels planned.
Color in the right order. There are only a handful of areas here, so color the largest shapes first, then the small ones: it keeps your hand off the parts you have already finished.
Add depth last. Save shading and outlining for the end. Press a little harder at the edges of each shape and ease off toward the middle: that single trick makes a flat colored page look finished.
Save or display your work. When you are done, color it online with the "Color this page" button, or photograph your printed sheet: you can keep a copy in your gallery or turn it into a print.

Both. This Hurricane page is rendered twice: once for US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and once for A4 (210 x 297 mm), instead of scaling one file to fit the other, so neither version prints with empty bands down the side. Pick the download that matches your paper. Both are portrait and both keep a 0.25 in margin so nothing is clipped by the printer.

Roughly 21-49 minutes. This Hurricane page has 22 separate enclosed areas to fill, and that estimate assumes the age range above: a careful colorist will happily take longer.

Once it is colored, Hurricane pages work well as wall art, card fronts, gift tags or laminated placemats. The SVG download can also be cut on a Cricut or Silhouette, because it is real vector line art rather than a picture of one.
