The Prickly Explorer in the Grass

A plump porcupine scampers across the page, every quill standing high and proud like tiny flags. His round body almost fills the space, and his clever black eyes peek out from his fuzzy face. With each short leg poking forward, he looks ready to wobble off to a delicious snack.

Bold lines make each quill easy for little hands to color. His small nose twitches over tiny whiskers, and his snout points straight ahead, as if he smells something curious just out of sight. There is plenty of fluffy fur under his spiky armor, waiting for bright colors or even some silly stripes.

Fun Fact!

A porcupine moves slowly and deliberately, relying on its quills for defense rather than speed.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Make the quills any colors you like—rainbow or brown and yellow for a wild look.
  2. 2 Add a green patch under his feet to make it look like grass.
  3. 3 Try making his nose pink and his feet a soft gray.
  4. 4 Draw small bugs or leaves around him for even more fun.
