These Pom Pom Hedgehogs are a fab arts and crafts activity for autumn time with the kids! They’re easy and simple to make with just a few craft materials required. Suitable for ages 5 to 7 years old. Read the simple how-to instructions below to get started on your Pom Pom Hedgehogs:
You will need:
- Brown wool
- Beige and black felt fabric
- Cardboard scraps
- Scissors
- Glue
How to make your Pom Pom Hedgehogs:
- Draw around a ring-shaped template onto card twice and cut them out.
- Put the two rings together and wrap brown wool around them until the hole has nearly disappeared.
- Cut around the edge of the pom-pom, pushing the scissors between the two pieces of card. Tie another piece of wool between the two rings, and pull the rings away from the wool.
- Cut out the head and ear shapes from beige felt fabric. Glue the two head shapes together and onto the pom-pom. Glue the ears into place, and add eyes and a nose cut from black felt.
Did you know: Hedgehogs are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and come out to feed at night!
