Three Happy Hamsters Surrounded by Sunflowers

Three round-eared hamsters crowd together in the middle of the page, each with big shiny eyes and a small open smile. The hamster in front sits with both arms raised, while the one on the left and the one on the right stretch an arm out to the side. Large sunflowers fill the corners, with crosshatched centers and pointed petals, and layers of leaves fill the spaces between them. The lines are clean and the shapes are big, so younger kids can stay inside them without much trouble. Try giving each hamster a different fur pattern, then color the sunflower centers in browns and the petals in yellows and oranges. Kids can also use the crisscross seed pattern to practice careful, small strokes. This free printable works well for a quiet afternoon at home or a classroom activity.
