Craft Supplies Needed

• Cut and Paste Hedgehog Craft PDF
• White paper or cardstock
• Scissors
• Glue (glue stick or PVA / school glue)
• Coloring materials: crayons, coloring pencils or colored markers

Build a Hedgehog Craft

Start by printing the the PDF file, you can use either normal printer paper or white cardstock for this with the cardstock being a little sturdier but the paper being easier to cut.

Color in all the separate parts of the hedgehog, the grayed in sections will be covered when you make your hedgehog so you don’t need to worry about these.

If you have light brown and dark brown markers or coloring pencils then that can really help although you can also just use pencils lightly or with more pressure to help create different shades.

Using your scissors carefully cut around each of the different parts following the dotted lines.

Glue the hedgehog’s back onto it’s main body and then glue two legs onto the back of the hedgehog’s body so that they are sticking out underneath and two onto the front.

Next, stick on the hedgehog’s eyes, nose and ear and then add the hedgehog’s spikes onto their back.

Should you need them, you’ll also find the basic instructions for this craft on the printable as well as a picture to give you a guide for how your finished craft should look.

As a mom myself I’m really aware of how expensive it can be to do activities with your kids, one of the reasons I have so many free printables on this site is because of the number of times my kids have looked for something fun to make on Pinterest only for me to realise how much all the craft supplies will cost to purchase!

All of these crafts are made using free printables from this site as well as basic craft supplies like paint or scissors that you probably already own.
