My daughter has prepared another lovely coloring page – this time it’s a smiling hedgehog! This motif is perfect for the autumn months, when we often think about these nice, spiky creatures that wander in search of shelter for their winter sleep.
The hedgehog in the coloring page has a friendly expression and encourages creative play with colors. You can color it in traditional browns, grays and greens or, letting your imagination run wild, give it more unusual, fairy-tale colors. Children can enrich the drawing with additional elements, such as colorful leaves, mushrooms, acorns or other autumn gifts of nature, creating a scene from a real autumn forest.
Coloring pages with wild animals – cute smiling hedgehog
Do you also meet hedgehogs in the forests? I admit that we more often manage to meet them near the house, walking between buildings.
A coloring page with a hedgehog is primarily a way to spend time pleasantly. However, while having fun, you can talk about the role of the hedgehog in nature. About its diet, which rarely includes apples, and much more often snails and insects. You can talk about their hibernation and how they prepare for it. Maybe you can also provide them with a safe shelter for the winter? Under a pile of branches and leaves that you will only clean up in spring? This is a great way to combine fun with learning about nature, and maybe even inspiration for a joint trip to the park or forest to look for signs of autumn.
The finished, colored hedgehog will be a beautiful decoration – you can hang it on the wall, pin it to the fridge or add it to a collection of autumn art works. Such an autumn hedgehog at home will definitely bring a bit of warmth and joy to colder days. We invite you to color and have fun together with this little friend of our gardens!
