Please, never be shy and always wave and say hello when you see me! Even though hedgehogs are naturally solitary animals, I am a friendly one. I am Spikey and I would love to say hello to you too. Just stand back a little, say hello, and I’ll sniff a hello back.

To make sure you recognise me, try to draw me first. Here is how:

First, we draw my nose.


draw 1


Second, we draw my muzzle.


draw 2


Third, we add my right eye and ear.


draw 3


Fourth, we draw the first row of spines behind my head.


draw 4


Fifth, we add the row of spines along my back.


draw 5


Sixth, we fill in the spines over the rest of my body.


draw 6

Finally, we add my legs and feet. As the hedgehog you are drawing is me, Spikey, don’t forget to make my back-left leg a little shorter than the others!


draw 7

And now that you know my shape, can you also colour me correctly? You can colour in all of my friends too!
