Riddle: A spiky ball goes, sniff-sniff, uncurls and runs.
Answer: Hedgehog!
- Spiky ball — hedgehogs have lots of short, pointy spines on their backs.
- Sniff-sniff — they use their little nose to smell things around them.
- Uncurls and runs — when they are scared they curl into a ball; when they feel safe they uncurl and walk away.
Try this with your child: curl up into a tiny ball, then uncurl and take small steps like a hedgehog. Say “sniff-sniff” as you pretend to look for food. Fun and easy!
