- Once done coloring, trim out the head shape. Discard excess paper.
- Set aside the hedgehog cutout.
- Now grab a single sheet of black cardstock and your various pieces of brown sidewalk chalk.
- Make several lines going outward from the center of the paper {see our image for example} to make the spikes of the hedgehog. Add as many lines and colors that you like. You want it to be nice and “fluffy” though.
- Use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
- When done with the chalk, go ahead and grab your hedgehog cutout from earlier & your glue stick.
- Glue the shape to the center of your chalk art design you just made.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
