Free Printable Hedgehog Template For Kids
Hedgehogs are such adorable animals and they’re ones that are perfect for inspiring some fall themed crafts too.
Hedgehogs can be a little tricky to draw though, so this printable is perfect for helping you to create some easy hedgehog crafts at home or if you are in a classroom or preschool and want to be able to do an activity with a group as once you have the download you can print as many copies as you like.
This craft template would also be perfect for using after you’ve spent some time outdoors looking for natural materials.
If you like this craft but can’t print it out right now then make sure that you either bookmark this page or pin an image for later so that you’ll have it to hand when you need it.
Make sure to print the PDF and not the images in this post though or it won’t print properly.
If you are using this template to make some crafts that use a lot of paint, glue or natural materials the I recommend printing it onto white cardstock rather than paper.
This is because the paint and glue can make it over saturated and the twigs, autumn leaves, moss or flowers can weigh it down and you don’t want to risk getting a tear in your cute fall craft!
Easy Hedgehog Craft Ideas Using Our Free Template
Coloring and Painting
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with just grabbing your crayons, coloring pencils or markers to color in this hedgehog.
It’s a really simple way to keep your kids entertained and they can give their hedgehog a cute little face too.
Sticks
Pop some double sided tape onto your hedgehog’s spikes and stick on some sticks that you’ve collected from your garden or a walk outside.
Handprint Hedgehog
I made this easy handprint hedgehog craft with my daughter using this template.
I personally love creating handprint crafts like this with preschoolers and toddlers as they make such gorgeous keepsakes!
Leaf Hedgehog
This is such a classic craft idea but it’s classic for a reason, it looks fantastic and this PDF is perfect for using as a leaf hedgehog template.
Just add double sided tape to your hedgehog and use this to glue the leaves down.
I’d recommend double sided tape rather than using a glue stick or PVA glue as glue sticks will struggle to hold down the irregular shapes of the leaves and PVA takes ages to dry.
Paper Strips
Our paper hedgehog craft is perfect if you’re looking to support your child’s scissor skills and you don’t need to make any expensive purchases to create it either – just our hedgehog printables, scissors, glue and brown paper.
If you are making this craft with kids who are too young to use scissors then you could cut out the brown paper strips for them and place them in a bowl ready for them to glue onto their hedgehog.
