Directions:

  • First things first – print the FREE printable listed above, on one sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need one heart shaped face printable per craft.
  • Have children decorate the inside of their craft paper however they like with crayons and/or markers.
  • Once done, use scissors to trim out the head.
  • Discard the excess paper. Set aside your piece.
  • Grab your colored cardstock, pencil and scissors.
  • Trace your child’s hand several times on the paper with the pencil.
  • Trim out each handprint for the craft. Depending on the size of your child’s hand, you may need 6-10 handprint cutouts.
  • Now grab the stapler and all your paper pieces, along with the decorated heart piece.
  • Staple the handprints to the back of the hedgehog shape, making the fingers peek out from behind.
  • If need be – trace/cut out more handprints to really make his spikes “full.”
  • Then if desired – glue a large pom pom in place on his nose {but you can totally skip that step if you like!} At this point in time you can also add large wiggle eyes as well!
  • And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit to your cute hedgehog before displaying it proudly for all to see!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
