Sleepy Hedgehog Tucked Beneath a Pile of Big Leaves

Sleepy Hedgehog Tucked Beneath a Pile of Big Leaves coloring sheet

Coloring guide

A little hedgehog sits tucked beneath a pile of large autumn leaves, and the whole picture is turned on its side. It has a round face with a long pointed snout, a black dot nose, small circle ears, and curved lines for sleepy eyes. Spiky zigzag quills run along its back. Two big leaves with detailed veins cover most of the page, with a stem sticking out at each end, and a third leaf with a scalloped edge curls behind them. A few small leaf shapes with bumpy edges sit near the hedgehog's face. Turn the page upright before you start, or leave it sideways for a fun twist. Try browns, tans, and soft grays for the quills, then use reds, oranges, and yellows on the leaves so the veins stand out. It is a nice way to talk about how animals find shelter in the fall. The page is free to print for home or class.
