Barn Mouse by the Haystack

A little gray rat peeks out from behind a pile of hay, her nose twitching and whiskers pointing straight ahead. She sits on her back paws, perfectly still, as if she’s listening to every sound around her. Soft straw covers the barn floor, and sunlight sneaks through the wooden boards behind her, painting quiet stripes of light and shadow.

The haystack looks fresh and scratchy, packed high and tied with rope. The rat’s round black eyes shine with curiosity, and her long tail curls gently across the straw. The cozy barn makes a safe spot for her as she explores this big, busy world one tiny step at a time.

Fun Fact!

Fancy rats have been specially bred to come in many different colors, patterns, and even fur types like curly (Rex) or hairless.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Blend two browns for the hay to give it a straw-like look.
  2. 2 Add soft grays or tans to the rat’s fur for extra fluffiness.
