We used:
Air drying clay
Thin small twigs
Googly eyes
Minnie collected the twigs we needed from the garden & then snapped them into the desired length. She then rolled a ball of clay & moulded it into a egg shape (with a little help from Mummy).
She pushed down one end of the egg shape to make a flatter surface for the hedgehog's face, then set to work adding the twigs to make the spines for the hedgehog's back.

| As you can see Minnie was keen to add the twigs! |

| Adding some eyes |
We left them to dry over night, & they were ready to play with the next day. A fab activity for encouraging creativity & imagination.
I think these are one my favourite little hedgehogs I have recently seen. ADORABLE! How cute can you get! Love them!
