A round, smiling hedgehog is the easiest first page.

Hedgehog coloring pages for seniors keep shapes bold and scenes gentle.

That sleeping hedgehog shows something real hedgehogs do every winter.

What do real hedgehogs look like, and how do you color one?

The Woodland Trust describes hedgehogs as covered in characteristic brown spines. It adds that they have long snouts and no spines on their bellies, faces or legs. So color the spines brown and the face and belly a soft, lighter tan.

The same charity says hedgehogs spend much of their life asleep, hibernating through winter in a nest of fallen leaves. The Hedgehog in a Log Hollow and Sleeping Hedgehog fit that perfectly. Color their nest in autumn browns, oranges and yellows.

For spines that look real, draw short strokes in two browns, one light and one dark, all pointing the same way. Leave a few thin white gaps between them. A small black nose and dark eyes finish the face.

Hedgehog coloring pages make autumn displays, cards and a leaf nest craft.

A colored hedgehog makes a sweet autumn card or a thank-you note. Print it on cardstock so it stands. Kids can cut out a hedgehog and tuck it into a pile of real fallen leaves, like a winter nest. Several colored hedgehogs make a cheerful autumn wall.
