One day, while walking with his grandmother in the village, the child discovered a small prickly hedgehog. The animal ran about its business through the beds with yellowed tomato bushes. There was a rustling sound throughout the entire area. Of course, the hedgehog didn’t fall into the girl’s hands. He hid his nose in the needles and hissed. The daughter rushed to the veranda screaming: “There’s a hedgehog!” All family members, as if on command, ran to the place where the animal was found.

A very cute animal, this hedgehog. Of course, we didn't leave him at home. Why captivate a living being? But my daughter and I were inspired to create an applique of the same name from autumn leaves.

For work we collected:

Rectangular cardboard as a base;
- leaves of different colors so that the character does not merge into one spot;
- scissors;
- plasticine;
- PVA glue.

For the body of the animal we chose a green hawthorn leaf.

Since real hedgehogs have a slightly elongated muzzle that ends in a pointed nose, mom will have to work with scissors. The sheet, cut on both sides, turned out incredibly similar to the body of a hedgehog. At least that's how we imagined it.

We'll make the animal's spines narrow and long. To do this, we will tear off 5-6 pieces of yellow leaves from the ash tree.

At the next stage, cut the leaves into thin strips and lightly shake the pieces to separate the needles from one another.

Fold the resulting pointed parts into a semicircle, gluing them slightly overlapping.

Let's immediately sculpt a hedgehog from pieces of plasticine round eye and a nose that vaguely resembles a drop.

It's time to attach the finished body parts to the cardboard applique base. First we glue the body, and then the eyes and nose. By the way, plasticine completely refuses to stick to the smooth surface of the sheet. You'll have to use PVA.

A yellow birch leaf makes wonderful paws; you just need to cut the leaf in half along the handle.

Carefully, holding your breath, glue the limbs to the hedgehog’s body. The animal is ready to run into the forest to pick mushrooms. He doesn’t yet know that we have prepared a delicious gift for the animal - a juicy apple.

Glue the apple to the hedgehog needles. Of course, soon the fruit will have to be removed so as not to rot. However, now the picture looks incredibly beautiful!

Let's place hawthorn leaves and berries around the hero. Leave the cardboard motionless for 20-30 minutes so that the glue has time to dry.

Finally, the work on creating the application has come to an end. It’s so good that we met this predatory animal on our way. He helped us have a fun and productive time.

Good afternoon. In this article you will find a large collection of ideas for creating a HEDGEHOG craft. Here are some ideas that are suitable for children in kindergarten and school. We will work with our own hands in the most different techniques. Glue hedgehogs from paper and cardboard, make a hedgehog craft from natural material. I will show you the most beautiful hedgehog appliques using several techniques. We will sew hedgehogs from felt and felt them. Cross stitch hedgehogs. Crochet hedgehogs and much more. I also have articles with hedgehogs’ favorite foods - apples and mushrooms. You can also make an apple craft or a mushroom applique for your hedgehog.

Here's what you'll find in this article.

Crafts hedgehogs

For small children

(age 3-4 years).

In the younger group kindergarten Children are just learning paper appliqué techniques. Children 3 years old cannot yet use scissors - and their task is simply to glue the ready-made appliqué parts, cut by the hands of the teacher, into the right places with glue. And that's enough already hard work, a craft that is not easy for young children. Using a clumsy brush, try to evenly distribute the sticky glue over the paper part. And stick all the parts in the right places, without confusing anything or turning it upside down.

Here are convenient applications for children 3-4 years old. A simple cute chubby hedgehog for children - pictured below. It is simple and easy to make with your own hands. First we glue the spines, then we put the tummy part on them and lay out the paws and ears. Just for 15 minutes - that’s how long a lesson lasts in kindergarten in the 2nd junior group.

But in this craft below, children are given a hedgehog back made of cardboard. And paper outlines of the head and paws. Girls can also be offered a bow. As a boy, add an apple to the back. It is better to let the teacher himself draw the eyes and mouth on the face in advance (a pencil in children’s hands will tear the paper wet from glue, and a felt-tip pen may get into a puddle of glue and stop writing).

Here is another task that children can do - a hedgehog craft. Here a prickly back is glued onto a cardboard apple, then a muzzle on top, then eyes, cheeks, and a nose on it. Looks like complex craft– but simple and accessible to children 3-4 years old.

And here is another craft below - where a hedgehog hugs an apple. Children really like the very fact of COMMITMENT. Important Note – do not give children hedgehog hands in advance. They will rush and glue them to their tummy before the apple - and will cry that their hedgehog does not hug the apple.

First, let them glue an apple to the hedgehog’s belly, and give the hedgehog’s hands to those who succeeded.

But the task is already for the second half of the year junior group . Here it is important to correctly glue the triangles of spines onto the hedgehog - so that the acute angle was facing the other way from the face of a hedgehog. Keys can be cut not only from ordinary colored paper. It is very good to cut spines from COVERS of colored paper - this way they will turn out multi-colored with bright splashes of pattern. Paper is saved and covers are not thrown away. And the hedgehog turns out to be festive.

Craft Hedgehog

For the middle group of kindergarten

Age 4-5 years.

In the middle group of kindergarten, children are already beginning to master scissors. They learn to hold them correctly and do CHICK-CHIK in the air without straining their fingers (make sure that during the chik-chik process the child’s fingers do not curl from tension). Let him learn to do this movement in a relaxed manner.

The first tasks of cutting with scissors for children are the simplest. As a rule, this is cutting fringe grass. Using this fringe cutting technique, you can also make a craft in the shape of a hedgehog. We give the child a wide oval (a rectangle with rounded edges). And the child’s task is to push this oval into the cuts in a circle (as in the picture below). You can draw lines for future cuts on each oval in advance with a pencil. This way the child will have a clear guideline for applying the scissors.

Please pay Special attention children , that when we glue hedgehog needles onto a paper background, we apply glue ONLY to the MIDDLE of the back - we DO NOT apply glue to the cut fringe at all. And after gluing, we twist this fringe onto a pencil - or bend it upward with our hands.

In preparation for the lesson, the silhouettes of the hedgehog’s body can be drawn with a black marker on a sheet of paper - and this sheet copy on a photocopier. You need to cut out the body silhouettes of the hedgehogs so as not to create marker lines. The child’s task will be to bend the hedgehog’s arms and head forward. And in order for the hedgehog’s ears to stick out above the fold line of the hedgehog’s head, you need to remember to cut them in advance.

And so another craft using the FRINGE technique(cutting with scissors) – for children middle group kindergarten = in the form of a hedgehog.

For younger children a ready-made curved base of the hedgehog’s body is given . Older children They themselves bend a wide strip of paper into the shape of a DROP.

THEN you will need to teach children how to control scissors well: keep your hand with the scissors straight - change the cutting direction without turning your hand with the scissors, but by turning the sheet of paper (this correct technique cutting)

And when the children master this technique, you can give them the task of cutting out the prickly silhouette of a hedgehog’s coat with zigzags (as in the photo below). This is already a task for the second half of the year in the middle group of kindergarten.

You can offer children this hedgehog craft (as in the photo below).

On a sheet of colored paper we draw a large silhouette of a hedgehog. We make cuts on it with a blade in advance (children will not make such internal cuts themselves with scissors). And the child’s task will be to cut out the entire hedgehog drawn on the cardboard along the contour and bend the cuts with his fingers.

COLLECTIVE

crafts with hedgehogs

in kindergarten.

When children become comfortable with cutting along the contour, you can give them cardboard cards on which the contours of fruits (pears and apples) will be drawn. And some children will receive the contours of a hedgehog's needle-like skin.

And then you can make such a COLLECTIVE craft, a hedgehog with fruit, in kindergarten classes. Each child participates, cuts out their part of the craft - and then at the end of the lesson, the children, together with the teacher, assemble all the parts into a craft.

In the same way, you can give children cards with the outline of autumn leaves (maple, oak) drawn on them. And after cutting out, we collect the autumn leaves into a garland held by a hedgehog cut out of cardboard.

Children's craft Hedgehog

From newspaper and glue.

You can cut a hedgehog from unusual material– multilayer newspaper cardboard. Let's take it white sheet of paper spread it on PVA glue– and quickly, before the glue dries, lay it out on it pieces of torn newspaper. Again we spread glue on top of this sheet - and again lay out the newspaper pieces in places not covered by the newspaper. We dry this multilayer newspaper cardboard. This is the first lesson for children. Continuation of the craft in the second lesson.

After all layers have dried, place on top Hedgehog silhouette template– outline with black marker. And we succeed workpiece for the second lesson with children. On it they will have to cut out the drawn silhouette of a hedgehog. Then lay dry leaves on a sheet of paper - on glue. And stick the silhouette of a hedgehog on top. On scraps of newspaper cardboard (remaining after cutting out the hedgehog) we draw an apple and a leaf. We paint them in red and green watercolors. Let's dry it. Cut it out. And glue the apple onto the back of the hedgehog.

Craft HEDGEHOG

for older children

using the VEER technique.

We fold a sheet of colored paper into an accordion (like a fan). From both ends of this folded accordion we make an OBLIQUE CUT with scissors (due to which the fan will have a jagged edge).

Now we bend the accordion in half in the middle and fold it. And we straighten the blades from one half of the accordion and from the other half of the accordion. And now all that remains is to glue the hedgehog’s face. Simple craft hedgehog for children senior group kindergarten.

Crafts-pendants for the window

In the form of a hedgehog.

From cardboard we cut out the contours of a hedgehog with a large hole cut inside. WITH reverse side attach a piece to tape polyethylene film. And we place dry autumn leaves on it with PVA glue. We hang the craft on the window - the light shines beautifully through the foliage, and in the sun the leaves shine like an autumn lamp. Children like this hedgehog craft the most - they love working with natural materials. And below in this same article I will have many more hedgehogs made from natural material.

You can also glue pieces onto such a hedgehog-shaped frame paper napkin with color pattern. The napkin will also shine through in the sun when you hang this children's craft on the window.

If the edges of a cardboard frame in the shape of a hedgehog are pierced with holes (using a hole punch), then you can make craft with lacing. String beads or paper leaves through the lace as you weave. This hedgehog craft is suitable for older children - schoolchildren, because lacing is a long process.

DIY hedgehog

using the palm technique

Here are a few crafts that use prints or silhouettes of children's hands. For the youngest children, this craft is suitable, where you need to apply brown handprints several times on the already drawn outline of a hedgehog.

You can also divide the craft into 2 activities in kindergarten. At the first lesson, the child makes 3-4 multi-colored handprints on a white sheet of paper. In the second lesson, he cuts out these prints and sticks them on the back of a hedgehog cut out of cardboard.

You can do a collective community craft in kindergarten, where each child makes and then cuts out a handprint and then all the prints are glued around a hedgehog made of colored paper - I form its spines.

You can do without paints. Just trace the child's palms with a pencil on a sheet of colored paper. Then cut and make volumetric applique with a convex nose-cone of a paper hedgehog (as in the photo below). Simple collective craft for kindergarten.

Hedgehog applications

From colored paper.

Here are some ideas for simple, beautiful hedgehog-themed paper appliques. In kindergarten, you can make such an applique with your own hands if you cut out at least half of the parts in advance. In one lesson (20 minutes long) it will be difficult for a child to cut out mushrooms, leaves and a hedgehog. Let him receive some details already ready.

Here is a craft applique based on a disposable paper plate. It's okay that you don't have any plates. You can take a regular sheet of white cardboard, put a plate on it, and trace it. Cut out the rounds. And on one half of the round piece, draw teeth-needles.

The child’s task will be simple – cut out the teeth along the contour. Decorate the circle in two colors - make the jagged half of the circle brown, paint the round half brown green color. Then glue on the muzzle and paws, mushrooms and leaves.

But I found very beautiful postcard with a hedgehog, made with your own hands. It is too good idea for multi-layer application. Here, the hedgehog's spiny back is made from four jagged strips of cardboard. In which you need to bend the teeth and stick them in tiers one after another, starting from the back of the hedgehog. Decorate the craft with leaves and berries.

And here is another hedgehog applique for children. Here the hedgehog's coat is made up of discs folded in half with a jagged edge. The more flaps you use in the application, the more magnificent your hedgehog will be. Using the same principle, you can make a three-dimensional mushroom and cloud. But this is too much for a kindergarten. Therefore, one volumetric element using the blade technique is enough.

VOLUME hedgehog crafts

FROM CARDBOARD.

Corrugated packaging cardboard is a good and cheap material for children's crafts. If you make SLOTS on cardboard parts with SCISSORS, then you can put the parts on one by one. And we will get a voluminous craft.

Here I have drawn where to make cuts on the parts in order to correctly assemble them into a cute cardboard hedgehog. Beautiful children's craft. It is necessary to take into account that corrugated cardboard is thick, so the cuts need to be made wide - like a slit. Then the parts will easily fit on each other.

You can also expand the boundaries of your imagination and create a more complex hedgehog craft from packaging cardboard. Some of the cardboard material needs to be painted black.

And from two sheets of cardboard you can make volumetric craft lamp in the shape of a hedgehog. Triangular cuts are made on the cardboard silhouettes to form needles. We glue two silhouettes in the area of ​​the nose and in the back of the hedgehog’s back. Let the glue dry and then move the middle of the silhouettes apart - inserting them inside glass jar with a candle-tablet inside. It is convenient to light the candle at the bottom of the jar with a long spaghetti pasta - it burns perfectly brightly and evenly, like a long match.

Cardboard can be used not only as sheets, but also household the one we usually throw away - cardboard bushings from toilet paper , cardboard egg packaging.

A hedgehog craft for children - from a toilet paper roll.

If you have colored double-sided paper Brown and a roll of toilet paper, then you can do a simple and quick craft in the form of a hedgehog.

On a piece of paper, draw a hedgehog’s prickly fur coat. Use scissors to slightly shorten the toilet paper roll in height so that it is lower. We draw on it the eyes, nose, mouth and paws of the hedgehog. We flatten the upper part of the roll and secure it with a stapler. We coat the back of the roll with glue and glue a prickly coat of colored paper. We bend the top of the fur coat forward - we get overhanging hedgehog bangs.

DIY hedgehog from an egg carton - master class in photographs .

Using scissors, we separate the cells of the box from each other, and cut each cell into petals. These will be hedgehog spines. We leave one cell intact - this will be the face of a hedgehog.

Pour boiling water over the remaining trimmings and the packaging lid. Let it sit and swell. We squeeze it with our hands and form a triangular cone from this loose mass - the basis of the hedgehog’s body. Let this piece dry for a day in the sun. Or dry it in the oven.

Autumn - the right time for creativity. There is nothing easier than making a beautiful applique from natural material “Hedgehog from leaves”. All you need is cardboard, glue, leaves and a good mood.

DIY crafts are very exciting and interesting activity. It develops children's motor skills, ingenuity and imagination. The child has the opportunity to express himself creatively, and the parents have time to relax. In addition, things made with our own hands are much more valuable and enjoyable for us. Summer is coming to an end, which means that soon it will be possible to make autumn crafts, because a lot of natural materials will appear.

Finding the right things for work can be a real adventure. Golden autumn is an unusually beautiful time of year. Walking in nature - in the forest, in a park or square near your home - will bring a lot of aesthetic pleasure. Warm sun, variety of bright colors (yellow, red, crimson), blue sky. All this contributes to the flight of imagination, and we collect the necessary material without noticing it ourselves. Advice for parents: while collecting, you can tell your children what kind of leaves, needles or cones you are collecting, what trees they come from and what features they have. Then a walk through the forest should become not only pleasant, but also useful and instructive.

Of course, no autumn craft will be complete without beautiful autumn leaves. But before you start working with them, they need to be dried. The leaves may even have some defects - dots or holes from ants, this is normal, such specimens can be dried and then used for crafts. A special press is used for the drying process itself, but the simplest and most common way is to simply carefully place the leaves in books. Of course, these should not be copies that are dear to you or books that you are currently reading - it is better not to touch the leaves often during drying. Also, leaves can damage the pages a little, so if you feel sorry for your library, you can use regular paper, but you will need a lot of it. It will take about 2 weeks to dry the leaves, even if you did not take fresh, but slightly withered leaves.

There are a huge variety of options for what crafts you can make from autumn materials. Original panels, three-dimensional compositions or stained glass works. We suggest you make your next autumn craft from natural materials - a cute hedgehog made from leaves.

Cut out the resulting hedgehog and paste it onto a sheet of cardboard that you have chosen for the background. Apply glue to the body of the hedgehog and begin gluing the leaves. Then everything depends on the imagination and desire of your child.

Another method, where templates are not needed, will require you only a base sheet, a body blank and a strip of any paper on which the fringe is cut.

Convenient to use corrugated paper. It is easy not only to cut such wide needles from it, but also to twist thin flagella from each, which will look very natural and even voluminous. If such fringe is cut not into strips, but into circles equal in diameter to a hedgehog’s fur coat, which are glued on top of each other, you will get volumetric craft.
