13 Guinea Pig Coloring Pages (Free PDF Downloads)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published

Guinea pigs are shaped like a loaf of bread with a face, and this set leans into that. The early pages are a single chubby guinea pig with thick outlines, then the pages add what guinea pigs spend their day doing: munching a carrot, sitting in a pile of hay, peeking out of a little wooden house, and squeaking at a bowl of vegetables.

Three pages show long-haired guinea pigs with tufts and swirls of fur. Those are the slow, detailed ones, drawn for older kids and adults who like to follow the direction of the fur with a pencil.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size. The tufty long-haired guinea pigs look best with colored pencils, which can follow the direction of the fur.

Coat patterns to try

Real guinea pigs come in patches: brown and white, black and cream, ginger and gray. The smooth short-haired pages are a good place to try a two-color patch pattern. On the long-haired pages, color each tuft in a slightly different shade so the fur looks layered.

A classroom idea

Guinea pigs are common classroom pets. If your class has one, print the hideout page and let each child color it to match the real animal, then compare the results with the pet itself.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Two are better: guinea pigs like company, so color the pair on the hay page in two different coat patterns.
  • Snack sort: on the vegetable page, circle the foods a guinea pig can eat every day and color only those.

Questions about this set

Yes. Most pages show the smooth short-haired kind; three show long-haired guinea pigs with tufts and rosettes, which take longer to color.
What is the easiest page in the set?
The first page is a single guinea pig facing forward with thick outlines and no background, suitable for ages two and up.
