Spiky Explorer in the Forest Shade

This prickly fellow wakes up early, sniffing the air with his round nose. He pads softly on short feet, his spines fanned out behind him like a wild hairdo ready for a silly dance. His little dot eye and curved mouth suggest he's busy searching for something scrumptious on the leafy ground.

Long, straight quills stretch from his back in every direction, making him look bigger than a whole pile of pinecones. Smooth lines shape his head, chubby belly, and sturdy back legs, while all the space around his pointy quills just begs for bright, bold color. Any artist can bring this busy porcupine to life with a big dash of imagination.

Fun Fact!

Many people mistakenly think hedgehogs are small porcupines, but they are completely different and unrelated animals.

Coloring Tips

  4. 4 Add green grass or bright flowers underneath his feet.
