About these pages
Hedgehogs through the seasons: one trotting over fallen leaves, one carrying an apple on its back and two hedgehogs under a giant mushroom. Seasonal pages show a hedgehog in a witch hat with pumpkins, one in a Santa hat holding a candy cane and one wearing a scarf in the snow. Everyday scenes include a hedgehog peeking out of a teacup, sitting in a flower pot, sniffing a strawberry and reading under a desk lamp. Detailed pages include a zentangle hedgehog with layered spines and a hedgehog in a basket of autumn leaves.
There are 7 easy pages for ages two to four, 14 for ages four to eight and 4 detailed pages for older kids and adults. Colour the spines in short strokes that follow their direction, and keep the face and tummy a lighter tan. The autumn pages fit a class topic on hibernation. For more, see the woodland animal pages, the fall pages and the mushroom pages.
Each design is its own page with a Letter and an A4 PDF, a description, and related pages, so you can print one sheet or a whole set.
Questions
Do hedgehogs really carry apples on their spines?
Almost never. It is an old story that turns up in picture books. Hedgehogs eat mainly beetles, caterpillars, worms and slugs, and only nibble fallen fruit now and then, so the apple page is just for fun.
How many spines does a hedgehog have?
An adult European hedgehog has roughly five to seven thousand spines. They are hollow hairs made of keratin, and when the hedgehog is frightened it rolls into a tight ball so the spines point outwards.
When do hedgehogs hibernate?
European hedgehogs usually hibernate from around November to March, in nests of leaves under hedges or log piles. That is why so many autumn pictures show them among leaves, and it makes a good link to a seasons lesson.
Can I print on A4 paper?
Yes. Every page has a Letter and an A4 version. Pick the one that matches your printer.
