A few key features will keep your animal drawing looking like a hamster. The large head and eyes, fat plump body, and short tail will all add up to something that looks just like an adorable hamster. The step by step tutorial that you can download below will help children of all ages do just that.

Hamsters may be small, but as friendly little pets they sure have big hearts. They are one of the most popular small animal pets for both children and adults.

A few fun facts about hamsters is that some can grow to be 13″ long, others as short as 2″, and they are known to love to exercise. (Hence the hamster wheels!) Male hamsters are called boars, female are called sows and baby hamsters pups.
