Simple Ninja Star Coloring Page

Looking for ninja star coloring pages with one big shape and nothing else? This Simple Ninja Star Coloring Page fills the whole sheet with a single four point throwing star. Each point is a long triangle, the gaps between them are scooped into rounded notches, a sawtooth band runs around the entire rim and a ring shaped hole sits at the center. A free printable page for ages 2 to 8, and one of the fastest in this set to finish.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we entered the concept: 'one bold simple four point throwing star with a round center hole filling the page, thick outlines' on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds. The generator added a decorative sawtooth band around the rim that we had not asked for.

'Filling the page' is the instruction that made this work as a print. Ask for a throwing star without it and you get a small object floating in the middle of a sheet of white paper. Scaling it to the full page turned a two inch weapon into something a child can color with a fat crayon.

What makes this ninja star coloring page unique

Four points and a ring is about as simple as a subject gets, and the sawtooth band is what keeps the page from being boring. It gives the star an edge that looks worked rather than stamped out.

It is also the one part that rewards patience. A young child can ignore it and color the four points, while an older one can pick out the little triangles and get a metal filigree effect along the rim.

The star has a double outline: an outer edge and an inner border line, with a channel running between them all the way around. That channel is filled with small triangles that alternate pointing in and pointing out, sixty or so of them in total. The four points are tall isosceles triangles, and between each pair the outline scoops inward in a rounded semicircular notch, four notches in all. At the center two concentric circles form the ring hole. Nothing else appears on the page: no background, no shadow, no ground line, and the star sits square with one point straight up and one straight down. The two horizontal points reach almost to the left and right edges of the sheet, while the vertical pair stop shorter, so the star is slightly wider than it is tall. Each point is the same length as the ring hole is wide, about eight times over.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

A throwing star is steel, so this page is a chance to practice a metal look with only two shades. Color each point lighter along one side and darker along the other, following the line down its middle, and the flat star will look like it has beveled faces.

For the sawtooth band, alternate two colors between the little triangles instead of filling them all the same. It takes no longer and turns the rim into a patterned strip, which is what the band is there for.
