Hedgehog Sniffing a Spring Daffodil

Coloring guide
With a smile and a big shiny eye, a round little hedgehog tilts its head up to sniff the trumpet of a tall daffodil. It stands on four small feet, with spiky, textured quills covering its back, fluffy fur around its face and a round ear. The daffodil has pointed petals, a ruffled center with tiny stamens and long leaves rising from the ground. Below are tufts of grass, two simple five-petal flowers and a few loose leaves scattered around. Short pencil strokes on the quills are good practice, and the big petals and leaves are easy to fill in. Warm browns and tan suit the hedgehog, while bright yellow petals with an orange center suit the daffodil. This free printable works well for a quiet afternoon or a spring nature lesson. Kids who like Spring coloring pages usually enjoy Jesus / Bible and Flowers too.
