Meet some industrious rodents with free beaver coloring pages for kids. This collection of 25 detailed black and white drawings is dedicated to these hard workers!
Beavers are the second-largest rodents in the world and primarily come in two species: the North American Beaver and the Eurasian Beaver.
They are well known for their distinctive tails, but it’s their hobby that makes them more recognisable.
They use their powerful teeth to chop down saplings and trees to create natural dams. Because of this, they are quite important to their ecosystems.

There is more to beavers than meets the eye, and you will learn some of these facts as you color.

Beavers may be known for making dams, but they also make larger lodges like this one. They definitely are ambitious little rodents!
