What's In This Picture
As you look closer at this page, you will see a large mason jar that holds a complete little campsite. Right in the middle is a small tent with its door flap open, waiting for someone to crawl inside. A cute hedgehog is resting on a sturdy log, looking very comfortable and happy. In front of the hedgehog, there is a small campfire with tiny logs and dancing flames. Behind the tent, several pine trees stand tall to create a thick forest feel. The top of the jar has a simple lid and a little bit of empty space that makes the whole scene look like a precious keepsake found on a shelf.
Coloring Tips
You might want to start by coloring the campfire with bright yellows and oranges to make it look like it is really glowing. For the hedgehog, try using small, short strokes with a brown or grey crayon to mimic its prickly quills. The pine trees look great in deep forest greens, while the tent can be any bright color your child loves, like red or blue. To make the mason jar look like glass, you can use a very light blue or silver colored pencil to shade just the edges. Leaving some parts of the glass white helps it look shiny and transparent, as if it is catching the light in a room.
Did You Know?
Did you know that hedgehogs are mostly active at night? While they might not actually build campfires, they do love to forage in the woods while we are sleeping. They have thousands of stiff spines on their backs that help protect them from bigger animals if they get scared.
Try This!
After your kiddo finishes coloring, you could try finding a real jar and filling it with pebbles, leaves, and twigs from your yard to make a real-life version. It is also fun to tell a story together about where this hedgehog is traveling and what he might be cooking over his little fire for dinner.
