Bundled-Up Hedgehog
Hazel the hedgehog is bundled up from head to toe. She has made a tiny snowball that is just the right size for her paws. Soon she will roll it across the yard to make it bigger. Color Hazel and help her begin a snowy creation!
Hazel’s Tiny Snowball Plan
Hazel has made the first little snowball for a snowy project. She holds it carefully in her paws, ready to roll it across the ground and make it bigger. Her winter clothes keep her warm while she works outside. With her pointy spines, round ears, and cozy outfit, Hazel looks prepared for a day of snowy fun. Maybe her small snowball will soon become the bottom of a smiling snow person!
Color Hazel’s Winter Outfit
Hedgehogs are often shown in browns and tans, so try warm brown spines and a peachy or light brown face. Hazel’s hat, scarf, or coat can be any colors you love—bright red and blue will look cheerful against the snow. Shade the snowball pale blue or light gray so it does not disappear into the page. Add colorful buttons, a carrot nose, or a scarf nearby if you decide to draw Hazel’s future snow person.
Hedgehog Facts for Young Explorers
Hedgehogs are small mammals covered with stiff spines. The spines help protect them when they curl into a ball. Unlike porcupines, hedgehog spines do not shoot out. Many hedgehogs are most active at night, when they search for food such as insects, worms, and beetles. Some kinds of hedgehogs sleep for a long time during cold winter weather. They need safe, quiet places to rest.
