About this coloring page
A round little hedgehog sits on the ground, smiling with its eyes closed and its pointy nose in the air. It cradles a shiny apple with a short stem and a single leaf, and a big crown of spiky quills spreads across its head and back. The pads on its feet and its tiny ears add sweet details.
Coloring ideas
Use two browns for the quills, light near the face and darker toward the tips, and a pale tan for the face and belly. The apple can be red, green or golden yellow with a green leaf. An autumn ground of fallen leaves in orange and red makes this a lovely fall page.
Skills practiced
Hedgehogs curl into a ball when frightened, which makes a fun movement game after coloring. The page also fits a fall theme: talk about apples, harvest time and how some animals get ready for winter, a gentle introduction to the seasons.
Printing tips
The quill section has many points, so a sharpened crayon or colored pencil keeps edges neat. Pair this page with the pumpkin patch or turkey pages for an autumn coloring packet.
