Fall is one of my favorite seasons! It’s not too cold, and it’s not too warm… And there are also hedgehogs!
I do have a slight obsession (a healthy one, adoring them from afar and letting them be) with hedgehogs, and naturally this results in me being a bit hedgehog craft obsessed if you browse around the website, you will notice quite a few hedgehog craft ideas for kids and kids at heart. So be sure to also check this cute paper hedgehog craft idea or maybe this fun handprint hedgehog craft.
Now this one is super adorable on its own, but you can make it even cuter by adding a paper apple or a pear on its back (not that they actually carry them on their back, but you know, cute).
Ready to make one or ten? Let’s make them! This is a super simple paper craft for kids.

Cut the sheet of paper in half.
Start folding it – accordion style – from one end to the other.
When you come all the way to the other side, fold in half.
Press well.
Glue together.
Press together for the glue to really set.
Unfold a fan :).
You might need to glue together the last fold.
Cut a half circle from beige paper.
Draw on the facial details.
Apply a generous amount of glue on the back side.
Press on the half rosette. Allow the glue to set.
Cut legs from beige paper and glue them on the bottom of the rosette.
