Rabbit Coloring Pages
Welcome to my Rabbits coloring pages section.
Rabbits are built for a quick getaway. Their eyes sit high on the sides of their heads so they can watch for danger almost all the way around without turning, and those long ears can swivel one at a time to catch a sound.

Bunny Graffiti Art
Graffiti letters started out sprayed on city walls, where artists stretched and stacked them until the word itself became the picture. Here the words are bunny words, with rabbits tucked in between the patterns.
Famous Bunnies and Rabbits
Easter Bunny
The Easter bunny started out as a hare in Germany. German families told their children that the Osterhase laid colored eggs for good children, and kids built little nests for it to fill. Settlers brought the tradition to Pennsylvania in the 1700s, and it spread from there.
White Rabbit
Alice only ends up in Wonderland because she's curious about a rabbit. He's wearing a waistcoat, checking a pocket watch and muttering that he's late, and a rabbit who owns a watch is too strange to ignore. She follows him down the rabbit hole, and the whole story starts from there.
March Hare
People were saying "mad as a March hare" long before Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Hares leap and box each other like wild things in early spring, and everyone figured they'd lost their minds. Carroll gave the tea party a hare who fit right in.
Beatrix Potter
Peter Rabbit started out as a letter. In 1893 Beatrix Potter wrote a story with little drawings to cheer up a sick boy, and years later she turned it into the book that made her famous.
Rabbit
Rabbit is one of only two characters in A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books who weren't based on a toy. Christopher Robin never had a toy rabbit, so Milne invented one, and gave him a garden, a lot of plans and a very busy schedule.
Fun Facts About Rabbits
- A baby rabbit is called a kit. Kits are born with no fur and their eyes shut, so their mother lines the nest with soft fur she pulls from her own belly to keep them warm.
- A rabbit's front teeth never stop growing. Chewing on grass and hay wears them down so they stay the right length.
- Wild rabbits live underground in tunnels called warrens, often with lots of other rabbits. A warren has several entrances, so there's always another way out.
- Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk, when it's dim enough to hide from predators but light enough to find breakfast.
- Cartoon rabbits chomp carrots all day, but real rabbits mostly eat grass and hay. Carrots are a sugary treat, a bit like cookies.
- A happy rabbit might leap into the air and twist its body. People call it a binky. A scared rabbit thumps a back foot on the ground to warn the others.
