Apple Snack Time for a Round-Cheeked Hedgehog
Coloring guide
Sitting upright in the grass, a round-cheeked hedgehog holds a big apple in both paws and grins after taking a bite. Spiky quills cover its back, and it has big shiny eyes, a small round nose and tiny round ears. The tree trunk curves down the right side above, with a branch holding two apples and several leaves. More apples rest on the ground around the hedgehog, with small tufts of grass tucked in between. Bold, clean lines let younger kids color the large shapes while older ones add detail to the quills. Reds and greens fit the apples and leaves, and soft browns and tans go nicely on the hedgehog and trunk. Download this free page for a quiet creative moment.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Color the hedgehog's body, ears, and spiky back with pale tan, leaving the eye whites and the small shine spots white.
- 2Fill all the apples, including the bitten one in the middle, with apple red.
- 3Color the small leaves on the apples and the upper leaves with bright green, then use forest green for the darker branch leaves and the hanging leaf on the tree.
- 4Color the grass tufts at the bottom and along the sides with soft green.
- 5Leave the tree trunk white to make the apples and hedgehog stand out.
- 6Optional: add a little darker tan or brown shading under the hedgehog and a touch of deeper red on the apples for depth.
