What this worksheet teaches
This hedgehog outline turns counting to 13 into a picture, while short dot-to-dot lines train pencil control. A hedgehog has thousands of spines and curls into a ball when in danger.
Play idea
Give the hedgehog an apple or a mushroom and a pile of leaves to sleep in for winter.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does a hedgehog sleep through winter?
There are few insects in winter, so it sleeps in a warm nest of leaves.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — 13 dots take the hedgehog just past ten, a small stretch for a child who counts to ten.
What if my child skips a number?
Go back along the hedgehog to the last number joined, count on together and the next dot will be nearby on the outline.
