  • Dry leaves: Dry leaves break easily. Use craft glue and place a heavy book on top while it dries.

Make It Easier

An adult cuts out the hedgehog in advance, and the child uses large leaves. With no leaves around, cut out the printed leaves, which have a simple shape. The leaves can also be stuck onto double-sided tape instead of glue.

Make It More Challenging

Cut the leaves into thin strips before gluing, or make a family of hedgehogs in different sizes.
