Quick steps to use with a 3-year-old:
- Show a picture of a hedgehog.
- Say each riddle slowly and clearly, then pause so the child can think.
- Give the answer and show the picture again, then pretend to curl up like a hedgehog.
- Praise the child for guessing and make it a little game by asking again later.
