Oh my goodness, this little heart hedgehog craft is so adorable! We bought lots of foam heart stickers at Target and we have been having so much decorating with them.
Supplies Needed:
- cardboard
- scissors
- heart stickers
- googly eye
- pom-pom
- glue
- marker
How To:
First cut out a hedgehog shape from a piece of cardboard. We reused one of the Target boxes that had recently arrived. It doesn’t have to perfect, so don’t stress about the shape. Just make sure that it has a rounded back and a snout. Your heart stickers will cover most of the cardboard.
Sticker time! We put our heart stickers on in layers. For the first layer, we put stickers along the top, from tail to head. The tops of the hearts stuck up past the cardboard to make it look more like quills. For the second layer, we also started at the tail end and worked toward the face. The second layer overlapped with the first to cover all of the brown cardboard. We continued our layers until out hedgehog was covered in heart quills. It took us 5 layers, but yours will vary depending on the size of stickers you use and how big your hedgehog is.
For the hedgehog’s face, my son stuck on 1 googly eye. Then he glued on a blue pom-pom nose (we used the white glue, but a glue dot would work too). Last, he added a smile with a blue marker. All we had to do then was let the pom-pom dry.
I think this craft turned out so cute! My son and I loved making this hedgehog together 🙂 Check our Paper Plate Hedgehog Craft and our Fingerprint Heart Craft for more fun things that you and your little one can make together.
