Hamster Coloring Pages
Look, I know how busy life gets. Remember the last time you saw a hamster stuff its cheeks with food? Makes you smile, right? That's what got me started with these hamster coloring pages. I've now made 51 pictures for ColoringPagesJourney — some cute, some real-looking, some for Christmas, and some super easy ones too. These are just my small ways to help you find some quiet time.
What's in My Free Hamster Coloring Pages Collection
These hamster illustrations were drawn with love and a touch of realism. You’ll see hamsters peeking from pumpkin houses, hiding behind sunflower seeds, holding berries like treasures, and more. Clean outlines, open spaces, and balanced scenes—make it perfect for all coloring levels.
Hamster Styles That Make You Smile
For something so small, they sure pack a big personality. Let’s face it—hamsters may be tiny, but their gestures carry a big emotional punch.
Baby Hamster Coloring Pages
Got kids just learning to color? Or maybe your hands aren't as steady as they used to be? These pictures have simple shapes that anyone can color. There's a baby hamster asleep under a leaf. Another one stretches after just waking up. One plays with a small ball. These make you feel good without being hard to color.
Cute Hamster Coloring Pages
You can't help but smile when you see these. There's one with puffy cheeks and a tiny smile. Another hugs a big cookie with candy bits all around it. My favorite shows a hamster with cheeks so full of seeds you wonder how it can still stand up. Kids love these, but I've seen plenty of grown-ups sneak them for themselves too.
Kawaii Hamster Coloring Pages
If you like cute Japanese-style stuff, you'll want these. They have that soft, sweet look that makes you go "aww." One sips from a tiny teacup. Another sits inside a mug looking cozy. One even nibbles on cookies smaller than its paws. Great for when you've had a hard day and need something nice to look at.
Pages for All Skill Levels
Not everyone colors the same way. That's why I made different kinds of small animal art—some very simple, some with lots of details.
Hamster Coloring Pages for Kids
Kids can't sit still for long, can they? That's why these sheets show hamsters doing things—running on wheels, eating snacks, peeking from hiding spots. These active scenes keep kids busy without them even knowing they're learning. They learn focus and hand skills while thinking they're just having fun.
Realistic Hamster Coloring Pages
Want more of a challenge? These detailed drawings show hamsters as they really look: munching sunflower seeds, gripping a corn cob, and jogging inside the wheel.
The fine lines let you add shadows and highlights if you want to. Many people use these as sketch line art practice or frame their finished hamsters for their walls.
Easy Hamster Coloring Pages
These are my easy-to-color pages. Big lines. Simple shapes. Happy scenes. There's a round hamster holding a nut. Another sits under a moon. One has stars and hearts all around it.
These small animal printables don't need any special skills — just grab some crayons and have fun. Perfect for beginners and days when life feels too busy and you need something easy.
Christmas Hamster Coloring Pages
Hamsters for the Holidays
The holidays should be warm and fun — that's what these Christmas hamster coloring pages bring to your home. I've drawn hamsters wearing little scarves and holding candy canes. Some put decorations on tiny trees while snow falls around them. I left lots of white space so you can add glitter, stickers, or whatever you like. They make great cards or gifts.
Why I Started Drawing Hamsters
Honestly, my daughter's hamster Coco was the muse behind these images.
Every line on these pages comes from real moments I watched. The way he'd eat a seed, stretch after sleeping, or look at me with those black button eyes... each little move seemed special.
I wanted to share that calm feeling with others who might need a break from life's noise. So I tried to put all those feelings into this set of rodent illustrations.
How I Make Them
I start each image with just a pencil, paper, and myself. Real work from my kitchen table to yours, without the use of computer-generated or copied artwork.
I check each line to make sure it prints correctly. They can work on A4 or US Letter paper. No matter how many times you print them, the lines will remain sharp. Before sharing a design, I also have parents, educators, and serious colorists review it.

10+ Things to Do With Your Hamster Designs
Don't just stuff your printable hamster coloring pages in a drawer. Here are the most practical ways to give them new life—from relaxation to decor.
Digital Coloring
Import your files into a drawing app. Experiment with brushes, gradients, and glow effects. The results look amazing, and it saves paper too.
Online Sharing
Take clear photos of your finished pages and share them online. Add hashtags—like #ColoringPagesJourney or #HamsterArt. You'll receive so many nice comments from others who enjoy mindful coloring art. Sometimes a little praise goes a long way.
Classroom Break Fun
Teachers can use the pet illustrations as a quiet coloring activity for kids—maybe after lunch when they’re wild. They color and then tell stories about what their hamsters are doing. And it calms the whole room like magic.
Family Coloring Contests
On Sunday afternoons, print the same page for everyone (even Grandpa joined in!) and set a timer. Share laughs, then vote for things like "Most Creative Colors" or "Cutest Hamster." It's simple, fun, and gets everyone involved.
Make Your Own Stickers
Scan your colored pages and print them on sticker paper (you can get it at office supply stores for about $5). Cut out the shapes and stick them on lunch boxes, notebooks, or wherever.
Mini Coloring Books
Pick 8 – 10 drawings, print both sides, fold and staple down the middle. Write "My Hamster Book" on the cover. Your little girl can make these for her birthday party instead of goodie bags. Parents were so happy it wasn't more candy or plastic toys.
Decorate Pet Areas
Cover your finished art in clear plastic and put it near your pet's home—not inside where they could chew it. It adds color and warmth while showing your fun ideas and love for your little pet.
Personal Cards/Bookmarks
Fold the colored sheet into a card or cut it into bookmark strips. Add glitter pens, fancy tape, or a short note. These unique touches make great homemade gifts from kids to family and friends.
A “Coloring with Me” Night
Invite friends to print a few animal-inspired printables, grab snacks, and fill them in together. No phones allowed. It’ll be a relaxing yet low-cost activity that encourages laughter.
A Pet Scrapbook
Mix hamster drawings with real pet photos and notes. Arrange by theme—like "meal time" and "sleep time." It becomes a heartfelt scrapbook that celebrates both pets and creativity.
A Story Book
Gather your best finished works and write captions under each one. Bind them into a book that tells a story — a fun hamster-themed art project for kids and a unique bedtime read.
Wall Display
Choose the best page, add a mat board, and frame it. Show it in your home office or your child's bedroom. Over time, it remains there—a small reminder that beauty comes from hard times too.
DIY Decorations
Cut your art into shapes, laminate, and glue onto cork or magnet sheets. Coat with Mod Podge for a glossy finish. Perfect for fridge decor or small handmade gifts.
