Free Flushed Away Coloring Pages: 20+ printable PDF pages featuring a cast designed to look like hand-sculpted clay despite being made entirely with computer animation. Three pages in the set are dot-to-dot activities, which means you connect the numbered points to reveal the drawing before any coloring begins. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Flushed Away was built by Aardman, the studio famous for genuine stop-motion clay animation, but the film itself uses no clay at all. Every character was rendered with CGI software designed specifically to mimic the soft, slightly uneven, hand-pressed look of real plasticine. That borrowed texture matters for coloring: a flat, perfectly even fill works against the character design here, since the whole cast was built to suggest a handmade surface rather than a clean digital one.
The pages are divided into two types. Roddy and Rita pages, covering the largest share of the set across many poses and duo compositions, reward applying color with slight, deliberate softness rather than crisp digital precision. The Toad, Whitey, Spike, Sid, and Le Frog pages extend that same clay-suggestive treatment to the wider supporting cast, while the dot-to-dot pages add a connect-the-numbers step before any coloring happens at all. The simpler solo pages suit younger fans; the detailed group and action poses give older fans more to work through.
These pages work well at home or as fan art. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Aardman Animations, DreamWorks Animation, or any rights holder of Flushed Away.
Quick Answer
Flushed Away coloring pages are a free set of 20+ printable PDFs and online coloring sheets featuring Roddy, Rita, The Toad, Whitey, Spike, Sid, and Le Frog, plus three dot-to-dot activity pages. Because the film’s CGI was built to mimic real clay animation, applying color with a touch of softness rather than flat digital precision best matches the character design’s intended texture.

What’s Inside Flushed Away Coloring Pages
Roddy Pages
Roddy appears across the largest share of solo pages, captured driving a car, playing guitar, flying, and in numerous duo compositions with Rita and Sid.
Coloring Roddy: he is a pampered pet mouse with cream-white fur and a tidy, slightly formal look reflecting his comfortable upbringing above ground. Apply his cream tones with a touch of soft tonal variation rather than one flat fill, since his entire design depends on suggesting the gently uneven surface of hand-worked clay. His clothing, often a simple vest or jacket, benefits from the same softened, slightly imperfect application.
Rita Pages
Rita appears across numerous solo and duo pages, including one showing her holding a wrench and others alongside Roddy and Le Frog.
Coloring Rita: she is a streetwise sewer rat with warm grey-brown fur, a more practical and weathered look than Roddy’s pampered cream tones. Her grittier, more independent design suits a slightly deeper, earthier version of the same soft clay-textured shading used throughout the set. The contrast between her warm grey-brown and Roddy’s cream gives any duo page a clear, immediate visual distinction between the two leads.
The Toad Pages
The Toad appears in a solo page, a dot-to-dot activity, and a labeled portrait page.
Coloring The Toad: he is a large, theatrical villain in rich green tones with a regal red cape and golden accents, suiting a more saturated and dramatic palette than the muted sewer-dwelling rodents around him. Keep his green warm rather than sickly, and apply the same gentle clay-like softness used elsewhere, since his exaggerated personality comes through expression and posture rather than a harsher or more cartoonish color treatment.
Whitey and Spike Pages
Whitey appears in a solo page and in group compositions with Roddy, Rita, and Spike. Spike appears alongside Whitey.
Coloring Whitey and Spike: these two henchrats work well in muted, slightly cooler greys distinct from Rita’s warmer brown-grey, reinforcing that they belong to The Toad’s circle rather than to the main hero pairing. Their slightly bumbling, comedic design benefits from the same soft clay-textured shading as the rest of the cast.
Sid and Le Frog Pages
Sid appears in a solo page showing him eating and in a dot-to-dot activity. Le Frog appears in his own solo page.
Coloring Sid and Le Frog: Sid, an unhygienic sewer rat, suits dull, slightly dirty brown-grey tones reflecting his grimy character. Le Frog, a flamboyant amphibian rival, calls for a vivid green paired with theatrical accent colors in his costume, distinct from both the rodent cast’s fur tones and The Toad’s more regal green.
Dot-to-Dot Activity Pages
Three pages, featuring Sid, Roddy, and The Toad, are dot-to-dot activities rather than standard line drawings.
Completing the dot-to-dot pages: connect the numbered dots in sequence to reveal each character’s outline before coloring begins. This two-step format works well for younger children practicing number sequencing alongside fine motor skills, and the resulting drawing can then be colored using the same character-specific palette guidance as the standard pages.
Printable PDF and Online Flushed Away Coloring Pages
Every design comes in two ways: a printable PDF for paper, or the same artwork colored on screen.
Using both formats: print the PDF when you want a clean sheet for colored pencils suited to soft tonal blending, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the cast’s distinctive clay-inspired character designs cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
Flushed Away occupies an unusual position in animation history: a film made entirely with computer graphics, by a studio whose entire reputation rests on physical clay animation, deliberately designed to look like a medium it doesn’t actually use. The character shapes carry the soft, irregular surface quality of hand-pressed plasticine, even though no clay touched the production. Coloring this set well means recognizing that a flat, perfectly even digital fill works against that intended effect: a touch of soft tonal variation suggests the gently uneven surface real clay would have. That skill, suggesting a physical material’s texture through coloring choices on a flat surface, applies to illustration referencing sculpture or ceramics, and to any project where the visual goal is evoking a material the artwork never touches. From here, cartoon coloring pages are the parent hub, and Megamind coloring pages and Monsters vs Aliens coloring pages share the closest DreamWorks tonal lineage.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that creative engagement with material-evoking textures, where coloring choices suggest a tactile surface beyond what the flat page actually offers, can deepen sensory engagement with an otherwise two-dimensional activity. Flushed Away’s clay-inspired character designs invite that kind of layered, tactile attention even on standard paper. The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that dot-to-dot activities support early numeracy and fine motor development in younger children, and the three dot-to-dot pages in this set offer that benefit alongside the same character-based creative engagement as the rest of the collection.
How to Color Flushed Away Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a solo Roddy portrait to the full group compositions.
Apply every fur and skin tone with slight, deliberate softness rather than one flat fill. This isn’t shading in the usual sense; it’s a way of suggesting the gently uneven surface of hand-pressed clay, which is the texture the entire film was designed to evoke, even though no clay was used.
Keep Roddy’s cream tones light and Rita’s grey-brown tones warmer and deeper. This contrast in both color and depth reinforces their different backgrounds, pampered pet versus streetwise sewer survivor, on any page where the two appear together.
Give The Toad a more saturated, theatrical palette than the muted rodent cast. His rich green and red cape should stand out clearly, reflecting his larger-than-life villain personality against the more grounded coloring used for Roddy, Rita, and the other rats.
On the dot-to-dot pages, complete the numbered sequence fully before adding any color. Take your time connecting each point in order, since an accurate outline makes the coloring step that follows much easier to execute well.
Distinguish Whitey and Spike from Rita using cooler grey tones. Their slightly bumbling, villain-adjacent role calls for a cooler register than Rita’s warmer, more sympathetic palette, even though all three are rats sharing a similar basic design.
5 Creative Craft Ideas with Flushed Away Coloring Pages
Clay Texture Practice Swatch
Color a small section of a Roddy page using soft, deliberately uneven tonal application, then color an identical section flat and even for comparison.
Cut both sections into matching squares and mount them side by side on a card to see directly how the softer technique better matches the film’s intended clay-like surface. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Dot-to-Dot Warm-Up Set
Complete all three dot-to-dot pages, Sid, Roddy, and The Toad, in sequence before moving on to any standard coloring page.
Staple the three completed pages together along one edge to make a small warm-up activity booklet that builds numbered-sequencing confidence before tackling more detailed pages. Takes about twenty-five minutes.
Roddy and Rita Contrast Bookmark
Color the Roddy and Rita duo page, keeping his cream tones light and her grey-brown tones warm and deep.
Trim the page into a narrow bookmark shape, punch a small hole at the top, and thread a short ribbon through it for a usable bookmark celebrating the film’s central duo. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Sewer Cast Hanging Mobile
Color small versions of Roddy, Rita, Whitey, and The Toad, then cut each character out along its outline.
Punch a hole at the top of each cutout and hang them at varying lengths from a horizontal rod using string, creating a simple mobile representing the film’s underground cast. Takes about twenty-five minutes.
Villain Versus Hero Color Strip
Color a Roddy or Rita page and a The Toad page, then cut both into matching strips of the same width.
Tape the two strips side by side to compare the muted hero palette directly against The Toad’s more saturated, theatrical villain colors. Takes about fifteen minutes.
FAQ About Flushed Away Coloring Pages

Yes. Every page is free, with no sign-in or payment required. Download the PDF to print at home, or color directly on screen in the browser.
Does the set include the dot-to-dot pages, and how are they different from regular coloring pages?
Yes, three pages, featuring Sid, Roddy, and The Toad, are dot-to-dot activities. Rather than a complete line drawing, these pages show numbered points that need to be connected in sequence to reveal the character’s outline, after which the resulting drawing can be colored using the same palette guidance as the standard pages.
What is Flushed Away?
Flushed Away is a 2006 computer-animated film produced by Aardman Animations and DreamWorks Animation. It follows Roddy, a pampered pet mouse flushed down a toilet into London’s sewer system, where he teams up with a streetwise sewer rat named Rita to escape a villainous toad’s underground criminal empire. The film is notable for using CGI specifically designed to replicate the appearance of Aardman’s traditional clay animation style. You can read more about Flushed Away on Wikipedia.
Why do the characters look like they’re made of clay even though this is a computer-animated film?
Aardman built custom CGI software for this film specifically to recreate the soft, slightly irregular surface quality of their traditional stop-motion clay characters, even though no actual clay or physical models were used in production. That borrowed visual texture is why a flat, perfectly even color fill can feel slightly at odds with the character designs, while a softer, more deliberately uneven application better matches their intended look.
What colors should I use for Roddy and Rita?
Roddy is cream-white with a tidy, slightly formal look reflecting his pampered upbringing. Rita is warm grey-brown with a grittier, more practical design reflecting her sewer-dwelling background. Apply both with soft, slightly uneven tonal variation rather than one flat fill to match the film’s clay-inspired character design.
What colors should I use for The Toad?
A rich, warm green body with a regal red cape and golden accents, more saturated and theatrical than the muted tones used for the rodent cast. His dramatic palette reflects his larger-than-life villain personality within the story.
Are these official Flushed Away coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Aardman Animations, DreamWorks Animation, or any rights holder of Flushed Away.
Who are Whitey and Spike?
Whitey and Spike are two henchrats working for The Toad, providing comedic, somewhat bumbling support to the film’s villain. Color them in cooler, muted greys distinct from Rita’s warmer grey-brown tones, reinforcing that they belong to the villain’s circle rather than to the story’s main heroic pairing.
