Hamster Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The hamster is the classroom pet with the wheel, and the page draws it exactly as a child meets it: a chubby hamster sitting up on its back legs with a single sunflower seed held in both paws, cheeks full, round ears up, its running wheel leaning behind it and a little pile of corn and seeds on the floor beside it.
The body is one big round shape for a toddler to fill, the wheel is a circle with spokes to trace, and the single seed in the paws is the tiny careful part for whoever wants it. The corn and the scattered seeds are small shapes to count before colouring.
Ask what the hamster keeps in its cheeks and how many seeds are on the floor. Then puff your own cheeks out as far as they go, and the page becomes the pet a child asks to bring home for the weekend.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the hamster first. The big round body, one colour, then a second for the belly if you like.
- The wheel next. Round the rim, then along each spoke to the middle. A finger first, then a crayon.
- Count the seeds last. The one in its paws, then the corn and the seeds on the floor. Say the numbers out loud as you colour.
