Sleepy Hedgehog Curled Up on Fall Leaves

A little hedgehog is sound asleep on this cozy page, rolled into a round ball with its eyes gently closed and a small smile. Its tiny paws are tucked under its chin, and round ears peek out of the fluffy, spiky fur that wraps all the way around. It rests on a pile of large leaves, while two more leaves, one oak-style and one maple-style, drift down in the corners. The spiky edge means lots of short strokes to color, and the leaves give big, easy spaces for small hands. Warm browns and tan work for the fur. Red, orange and golden yellow on the leaves bring in a real fall feel. Print it free for quiet time at home or a seasonal classroom project. This fits right in with our Hedgehog coloring pages — see also Puppies and Cats.
