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!

Grandma Hedgehog made a special hedgehog cake for Spikey’s first birthday. Can you help Grandma Hedgehog make her famous rock cakes for you? Most grannies love to bake these! But first, please ask an adult if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. If you are not, that is great!

It is time to get your hands messy, but you will still need an adult or two to help you with the baking.
