Written by If you’ve never checked out the annual United Nation’s Human Development Index Report, it is a rather fun report to skim through. Check out the 2019 report here.
I finally got around to a coloring book page using the latest HDI data. Even our textbook doesn’t have that 🙂
Guide your lecture notes with this printable coloring book page of the Human Development Index (HDI). Have students Google the latest UN HDI report to understand how Literacy Rate, GNI, Life Expectancy help create this index. After, give them this printable to see the spatial distribution of development around the world.
These coloring book pages are great for printing multiples and cutting for foldables in student interactive notebooks as minis. These are particularly excellent for AP Human Geography, or other humanities courses.

The format is .PDF. I’ve found that .3” margins (all sides) is the farthest most standard printers will allow. Import into Word or Google Doc and size them as you need. I use them for my interactive notebooks.
You can print this on a poster printer for a small group activity, use in lecture, or have these available on a rack for cathartic purposes once students are waiting for the bell to ring.
This item was created using open-source maps, Adobe Illustrator, and Autodesk Sketchbook by the Human Imprint. I used the James Rubenstein 13th edition maps for reference as well as updated data from the UN HDI report, though the outline maps were created by myself. This took 4 hours to complete.
This coloring book series is inspired by the Wynn Kapit Geography Coloring Book, that hasn’t been updated since 2003. It’s provided many hours of geography inspiration for myself and I hope to spread the same.

Any earnings from the sale of my maps helps to pay for professional illustrations that I have made for my online illustrated comic text about Human Geography.
Let me know if I can make this better!
