Paper Plate Hedgehog Craft
What you need:
- 1 paper plate
- fall leaves
- light brown paint
- paintbrush
- googly eyes
- black marker
- scissors
- glue (white school glue or glue gun – you can get a low temp one for younger kids)
How to make it:
Pain the paper plate brown. Let the paint dry completely.
Cut it in half.
Glue the halves together – most paper plates will will allow for the hedgehog to stand on it’s own if you glue the halves together.
Mark the head area (to keep it leaf-free). Apply a generous amount of glue and start sticking on leaves. Let each layer of leaves set for a bit. Once you are happy with how your paper plate hedgehog craft looks stick on two googly eyes and draw a nose and mouth. Isn’t this fellow adorable=
