STEP ONE:
Collect your leaves, flowers or dried flowers from the garden. This is a great way to get younger kids involved and outside exploring in the garden.
STEP TWO:
Cut the shape of the hedgehog into your toilet paper roll. This can be a little tricky for the younger kids so they might need parental help for this step.
STEP THREE:
Draw on the hedgehog's tummy & feet with the white chalk pen. Draw your hedgehog's eyes & nose with the black vivid. Use a soft pink water colour paint to add some pink cheeks.
STEP FOUR:
Use the hot glue gun to stick on the leaves our flowers to finish your hedgehog off.
