Riddle: A spiky ball goes sniff-sniff, uncurls and runs. What am I?
Answer: A hedgehog!
Why this is a hedgehog:
- Spiky ball — a hedgehog has lots of short spikes (quills) and can curl into a ball.
- Sniff-sniff — hedgehogs use their noses to find food.
- Uncurls and runs — when they are not scared they uncurl and walk or run away.
Try it with the child: curl up like a little ball, pretend to sniff with your nose, then uncurl and run a little — it's a fun way to act out the riddle!
