Activities to Do with Hamster Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. Here are some creative ways to use these sheets for crafts, games, and decorations.
Create a Hamster Habitat Backdrop
If your child has a real pet hamster, they can use these coloring pages to decorate the outside of the cage. Have them color the hamsters, cut them out carefully, and tape them to the glass or plastic exterior of the habitat. It makes the cage look festive and shows off your child’s artistic skills without disturbing the pet inside.
Make Fluffy Texture Art
Turn a flat image into a 3D masterpiece using household items. After coloring the background, apply a thin layer of glue to the hamster’s body. Have your child stick small pieces of cotton balls, brown yarn, or felt onto the hamster to mimic soft fur. This adds a sensory element to the activity and makes the artwork pop.
Design a Hamster Care Guide
Use the realistic coloring pages to create a fun, educational booklet. Staple a few pages together and have your child write simple care tips on each page, such as “Hamsters need fresh water” or “Hamsters love to run.” This is a great way to teach responsibility to kids who are asking for a new pet.
Hamster Stick Puppets
Print the coloring pages on heavy cardstock for durability. Once your child colors them, help them cut out the hamster shapes. Tape a popsicle stick or a craft straw to the back of each cutout. Now your child has a cast of characters to put on a puppet show or act out stories about their fuzzy friends.
DIY Greeting Cards
These cute designs make adorable cards for friends and family. Choose a page like the “Hamster with a Gift Box” or “Hamster Birthday Party.” Adjust your printer settings to print two or four images per page to make them smaller. Cut them out, paste them onto folded cardstock, and write a sweet message inside.
FAQs
What Colors Should I Use for Hamsters?
Hamsters come in various natural shades. Syrian hamsters are often golden, brown, or cream with white bellies. Dwarf hamsters can be grey, white, or sandy brown with a dark stripe down their backs. However, this is art, so feel free to use pink, blue, or rainbow colors if you want!
What Is the Difference Between Syrian and Dwarf Hamsters?
Syrian hamsters are larger, solitary, and often called “Golden Hamsters.” Dwarf hamsters are much smaller, quicker, and can sometimes live in pairs. In our coloring pages, the larger, fluffier hamsters usually represent Syrians, while the smaller, rounder ones look like Dwarfs.
Are These Coloring Pages Free to Print?
Yes, all the coloring pages on this list are free for personal use. You can print as many copies as you like for your children, students, or yourself. They are perfect for rainy days, classroom activities, or party favors.
Why Do Hamsters Stuff Their Cheeks?
Hamsters have expandable cheek pouches that reach back to their shoulders. In the wild, they use these pouches to carry food back to their burrows. You can color their cheeks a slightly different shade to show they are full of yummy snacks.
Can I Use Markers on These Pages?
Absolutely! Markers create vibrant, bold colors that look great. If you are printing on standard copy paper, just be sure to put a protective sheet underneath so the ink doesn’t bleed through onto your table.
What Do Hamsters Eat?
Hamsters are omnivores. They love seeds, nuts, grains, and fresh vegetables like carrots, broccoli, and spinach. You will see some of these foods in our coloring pages, so have your green and orange crayons ready.
