About this worksheet
The longest and most winding route at this level — 61 squares and 36 changes of direction, both more than any other 10 by 10 sheet in the series. What keeps it from being punishing is that only 10 dead ends branch off it, so the difficulty is stamina rather than judgment. A long walk down a mostly honest path.
Hedgehogs are night animals that snuffle through hedges and fallen leaves for beetles, worms and slugs, and roll into a spiky ball when frightened. They do not usually eat mushrooms, so ask your child what a hedgehog might really find for dinner along the way. The route is long and winding but has few dead ends, so it tests stamina more than judgment.
There is exactly one way through: no loops, and no square cut off from the rest.
How to use this sheet
Plan for a break. Mark where your child stops with a small star so they can pick up again later. Curling up into a ball like a hedgehog is a fine way to rest in between.
