Coloring ideas for Rat

Rats are usually light brown, gray, white, or black, with pink noses, paws, and tails. You can color your rat in soft gray with a pink tummy and a long tail, or make it wild with blue fur and sparkly stars. Add a background like a cozy hole in the wall, a kitchen full of cheese, or a city rooftop under the moon. You could even draw a little maze, a tiny backpack, or a cheese crown to make your rat royalty for the day!

On the back of the page, why not try writing some fun facts about the rat, or how to say its name in different languages? You could even give it a name of your own, or draw your own version using your imagination!

What is a Rat?

Rats are small, smart mammals with long tails, big ears, and twitchy noses. They live all over the world, often near people, in cities, farms, or forests. Most rats weigh around 1 pound (0.5 kilograms) and can live up to 3 or 4 years. They are known for being clever problem-solvers and fast learners. Rats eat fruits, grains, seeds, and sometimes tiny insects. They use their sharp front teeth to nibble, and their whiskers to feel around in the dark. Rats are very social and love living in groups, where they play, cuddle, and even groom each other. With their gentle behavior and playful curiosity, rats are more than just clever—they're full of charm!

Choose your printer, then adjust the print settings according to your preferences (orientation, margins, number of copies, etc.), and start printing.

→ Why is there still a margin even when I selected full page with 0 margins?
