This South American rodent will bring a smile to your child’s face every time. We have described some of the best guinea pig coloring pages to print for your kid in the following section. So, pick out the sheet that seems the best fit for your kid and get coloring!
1. Guinea Pig In A Box
In the image, a guinea pig is seen peeping out of a box. It is a fun picture for children to visualize, implying to your child that the animal is playful. Your child will have fun coloring the polka-dotted box and the guinea pig. Encourage them to use whichever bright colors they like for the box. For a more interesting challenge, we have included a connect-by-dots version of the same image in our list. Print it out for a quick numbers lesson for your advanced learner!
2. Guinea Pig With A Lovely Hat
In the picture, the guinea pig is seen wearing a lovely Christmas hat and a beard, just like Santa Claus. Again showing an act of playfulness, the festive guinea pig will make your kid twice as happy and they can have a fun time decorating it as per their imagination. The picture is simple and younger children will easily be able to color the outline of the guinea pig.
3. Standing Guinea Pig
In the picture, a guinea pig is seen standing upright. It is probably hungry or excited to see its owner! Guinea pigs come near the cage to “purr” when they are happy, and also stand up and make squeaking sounds when they are hungry. With so many contours and curves on its body, this guinea pig is more complex and better suited for kids who have some experience coloring within the lines. Regardless, your child will have a lovely time coloring it in different shades.
4. Guinea Pig Eating Watermelon
One of our coloring pages shows a guinea pig eating a piece of watermelon. The lovely slice of watermelon and the presence of the guinea pig will make a colorful contrast of shades.
To entertain your kids while they are coloring, you can tell them a few facts about guinea pigs. For example, guinea pigs are gnawing animals, so they need to constantly sharpen their front teeth by nibbling some wood or hay all the time. Also, they can’t eat big fruits like watermelon; they need to be cut down into small pieces and deseeded before giving to them.
5. Guinea Pig Playing With Plant
In a coloring page, a guinea pig can be seen in its natural habitat, playing with the branch of a plant. The plant has a flower on its end, and the guinea pig has a curious expression on its face as if it’s up to some mischief. Your naughty kid will enjoy coloring the picture as the guinea pig might remind them of themselves. Fun fact: Guinea pigs live on grasslands and shrubby areas as they need to nibble all the time.
6. Sleeping Guinea Pig
In one of our adorable guinea pig coloring pages, the lovely creature is seen sleeping peacefully. Guinea pigs are not nocturnal animals like their fellow rodents. So, a guinea pig sleeps or takes power naps throughout the day. It will occasionally stretch to express contentment while sleeping. They are somewhat of a combination between a rat and a rabbit when it comes to their characteristics.
7. Guinea Pig In Hands
The image shows a guinea pig in the hands of its owner. Guinea pigs respond to human touch, love, care, and affection in the same way other pets do. They are extremely fragile creatures. So, if you have a guinea pig as your pet, tell your child to hold it with real gentle hands, as any rough handling can break their bones. It will “squeak” if it does not like your touch; just gently take it out of your hand from below to make it comfortable.
8. Mother And Baby Guinea Pigs
The image shows a mother guinea pig cuddling its baby. It is extremely cute and your child will love to color the mother and child in the same or different shades, as they like. To make the coloring session more educational, tell your child the fact that guinea pig babies are born with fur and open eyes. Also, they can live without their mother for five days on their own after they are born.
9. Cuddled Up Guinea Pigs
One of the cutest guinea pig coloring pictures shows two cute guinea pigs cuddled up together with curious and happy expressions on their faces. Coloring the page will be a lot of fun for your kids, as they will get to color multiple fun elements, such as the cage at the back and the food bowls in front, not to mention, two guinea pigs!
To make the session more fruitful for your child, tell them that guinea pigs love to graze constantly in grass or hay or a piece of wood to sharpen their tooth that is forever growing. Also, they like staying huddled up together so that predators can be sighted easily.
10. Guinea Pig With Bowl Of Food
In the picture, the guinea pig can be seen with a bowl of food in the front. Your child will find the image easier to color as it does not have too many lines or curves. Food can be imagined to be of any variety and colored accordingly.
A guinea pig eats several times a day and is a hardcore vegetarian. If they are in a cage, they must be fed with raw fresh greens, vegetables, and fruits daily for their upkeep. A not-so-fun fact: A guinea pig sometimes eats its poop to sustain nutrition.
