How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
For this activity, you will need:
- a half polystyrene egg (15 cm)
- a wooden support Ø 20 cm
- acrylic paint (brown, flesh, green)
- a paintbrush
- wooden matches
- a wooden skewer
- 2 mobile eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- a pom-pom
- rubber tree leaves
- adhesive glue dots
Step 1
Paint a half styrofoam egg with brown paint (hedgehog's body) and with skin-colored paint (hedgehog's head).
Let the paint dry for about an hour.
Step 2
Paint the round wooden support with green acrylic paint and let it dry for about 45 minutes.
Step 3
This step can be performed by an adult if the child is too young.
Make small holes about 1 cm deep on the body of the hedgehog using a wooden skewer. This will make it easier to insert the matches in the next step.
Step 4
Insert wooden matches into the holes to create the hedgehog's spines.
Step 5
Glue 2 movable eyes and a pom-pom for the nose with the adhesive gel dots.
Step 6
Stick the hedgehog onto the wooden base using the adhesive gel dots.
Stick rubber tree leaves to create a lovely autumn scene!
