  • 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.

Customize It:

  • Don’t feel limited by using black construction paper for this craft. Experiment with different colors of paper to see what really makes the “chalk spikes” POP for your pokey hedgehog friend.
  • On that note, did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. Repeat, over and over, again and let the construction paper dry completely before adhering the hedgehog piece to the center.
  • What if you don’t have a printer? No worries! You can always hand-draw a heart shape on paper and go from there. This will really open up those creative juices and I highly encourage it!
