How to draw a hamster

A round ball of fur with both cheeks stuffed full. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your hamster to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a hamster

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the cheeks

Draw a round head with a fat bump on each side. Wobbly bumps are best — they are cheeks full of food.

2

Two tiny ears

A small ear on each top corner of the head. Keep them little — big ears would make a mouse.

3

Give it a face

Two small dot eyes, a tiny nose, and a smile right between the cheeks.

4

Draw the body

A round body under the head, like a little ball of fur.

5

Paws, feet, and a tail

Two paws up under the chin, two feet at the bottom, and one stubby tail.

6

Finishing touches

Two toes on each foot, and a sunflower seed held tight in both paws. Now this hamster is yours.

Now draw a hamster running in its wheel.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper hamster into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little ear twitch below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
