Cute Halloween Hedgehog Coloring Page

Hedgehogs are naturally nocturnal, meaning they would feel right at home wandering around on Halloween night.

A hedgehog's back is covered in thousands of stiff hairs called spines or quills, which help protect it.

During autumn, wild hedgehogs spend their time foraging to gain weight before going into winter hibernation.

Have your child count the three little ghosts nestled along the hedgehog's back.

Talk about cold-weather clothing items shown in the picture, such as boots, pants, and a scarf.

Practice naming colors by asking the child to plan different hues for the witch hat, sweater, and pumpkin pail.

Use classic orange for the pumpkin treat pail and accent the handle with dark green or black.

Pick cozy fall colors like golden yellow, deep red, or forest green for the knitted sweater and scarf.

Color the hedgehog with a soft tan or light brown face and slightly darker quills.

Add a bright yellow or gold center to the buckle on the witch hat.

Cut out the finished character and tape it to a popsicle stick to make a sweet Halloween puppet.

Glue the completed drawing to bright orange or purple cardstock to make a homemade holiday card.

Add a touch of glitter glue along the brim of the witch hat or inside the pumpkin bucket for sparkle.
