Cost Effective Play Time | Hand Hedgehogs

Here is a great activity that children can do at any age (yes, even babies!)

What you need

1 piece of dark card or paper
3 or 4 pieces of coloured paper (ideally 1 different colour for each person who is taking part)
Scissors
Felt tip pen

Method

Using the dark card, start by drawing an oval; make sure that it is slightly stretched at one end. This end will be the head.
Add the feet. The easiest way to draw the feet is to write a letter ’d’.
Cut out the body.
Next ask each member of the family (or whoever is taking part) to draw around their hands. The younger ones will need guidance.
Cut out all the hands and place them in size order.
Starting with the largest, glue them on to the body of the hedgehog. Continue to do this with the other hands.
Once all of the hands have been layered glued, add an eye to the hedgehog and leave to dry.

Alternatives:

Hands can be printed using paint
For quickness, photocopy one of each hand print.

Happy hedgehog making!
