Master class “Hedgehog paper craft. Paper hedgehog with accordion How to make a paper hedgehog with your own hands

For an autumn holiday or for classes with a theme about forest animals, a paper hedgehog would be a great idea. There are a lot of all kinds of hedgehog crafts, this one is distinguished by its simplicity and availability of materials.

What do you need for a paper hedgehog?

• Brown cardboard;
• Beige cardboard or any other, slightly lighter than brown;
• Compasses, black felt-tip pen, glue stick, pencil, scissors.

How to make a hedgehog out of paper?

A hedgehog in this pattern is beautiful, both large and small, so at the initial stage you need to decide what your hedgehog will be like, and, based on this, draw two circles on brown cardboard.

Essentially, the hedgehog consists of three cones, so you need to divide the two circles into halves, one of which will not be needed.

Each half needs to be twisted into a cone and the edges sealed. You will get three identical brown cardboard cones.

At this stage you need to make the hedgehog spines. To do this, the edges of the cone are cut into small strips, but only on one half of it. That is, the spines will only be on top of the hedgehog and a little on the sides; the bottom of the cardboard should be intact. The length of the strip is up to the middle of the cone. After all the strips are ready, they need to be slightly bent to the side.

Glue all the cones together, leaving a small space between them.

Next you need to make the head of the hedgehog. It will be slightly lighter than the body with spines and will also look like a cone, only smaller. Therefore, cut out a circle from beige cardboard, slightly smaller than the one from brown cardboard.

Cut it in half and set one half aside as unnecessary.

Roll the other half into a cone and glue it together. Try on the head to the body, the cone-head should be no less and no more than the space intended for it - up to the needles. Cut off the excess if the cone is too large, but if it is small, it will have to be remade. Draw eyes on it and paint over the tip, which will be the hedgehog’s nose.

Such cute and funny Hedgehogs are the favorites of all children and adults, the heroes of numerous children's fairy tales and animated films. It is the images of Hedgehogs that are most often chosen by manufacturers of children's toys, because they always evoke tenderness and a smile.

The news portal “site” in this article has prepared for you several simple master classes of Hedgehog crafts that you can do together with your child.

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

Crafts hedgehogs

For small children

(age 3-4 years).

In the junior group of 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 this is already quite a difficult job, a craft that is not easy for small children. Using a clumsy brush, try to distribute the sticky glue evenly 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. It looks like a 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 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.

Pay special attention to 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 in the middle group of kindergarten = in the shape 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 to control scissors well: keep the hand with the scissors straight - change the cutting direction without turning the hand with the scissors, but by turning the sheet of paper (this is the correct cutting technique)

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 an unusual material - multi-layer newspaper cardboard. Let's take it white sheet of paper spread it on PVA glue- and quickly, before the glue dries, lay it 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. A simple hedgehog craft for children in the senior group of kindergarten.

Crafts-pendants for the window

In the shape of a hedgehog.

From cardboard we cut out the contours of a hedgehog with a large hole cut inside. We attach a piece to the back side with 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 a colored 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 cord 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 out and make a voluminous applique with a convex nose-cone of a paper hedgehog (as in the photo below). A simple group 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. It will be difficult for a child to cut out mushrooms, leaves and a hedgehog in one lesson (20 minutes long). 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 green. Then glue on the muzzle and paws, mushrooms and leaves.

But I found a very beautiful postcard with a hedgehog, made by myself. This is also a good idea for layering appliqué. 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 a 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 toilet paper rolls, cardboard egg packaging.

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

If you have colored brown double-sided paper and a toilet paper roll, then you can make a simple and quick hedgehog craft with your children.

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.

If your child likes to cut out and glue panels from cardboard or multi-colored blanks, he will definitely like the “Hedgehog” applique made from colored paper. Offer to glue on the parts cut out from a printed or drawn template or make the elements yourself, for example, using the quilling technique or any other.

Materials and tools

To make a beautiful piece of colored paper for your child, prepare the following:

• base for crafts, such as colored cardboard;
• template with the image of a hedgehog (natural or cartoon);
• colored paper (regular for children's creativity or corrugated);
• scissors (possible with curly blades);
• glue.

If the work will be done by a small child, an adult should prepare all the paper elements. Older children can trace the outline using a given stencil and cut out the blanks themselves. Thus, you need to plan the activity according to the age of the child.

How to make a hedgehog applique using a template

The easiest option for children's creativity is gluing according to a pattern.

The sequence of joint creativity with the baby is as follows:

1. Find a suitable picture on the Internet. It should be simple, but colorful, preferably specially designed for such work.
2. Print the blank.
3. Draw or print on the sheet where you will glue the parts.
4. Cut out all the required blanks from the first sheet. The same can be easily done from sheets of colored paper if printing the template did not work out.
5. Glue the elements sequentially onto the base. If the images were printed on thin paper, it is better to use a glue stick so that the paper does not get wet or deformed, and the colors do not accidentally spread.

The "Hedgehog" applique made of colored paper can be beautifully framed. If you don’t have a wooden blank and glass (this is the best option for a flat panel), use an additional sheet of cardboard or paper in white, brown or another suitable color in a larger size. Paste the completed work on top. If you don’t have the sheet you need, use any sheet that can be cut into strips. Glue them to the front or back of the sheet.

Application "Hedgehog in the autumn forest"

A very unusual panel can be easily achieved by creating a three-dimensional or relief effect.

Several options for manufacturing volumetric parts can be offered. For example, it is enough to cut out several circles from corrugated paper, stack them one on top of the other and, gluing them in the center and cutting fringe around the perimeter of all the blanks, glue them to the desired place on the base.

The application "Hedgehog in the autumn forest" will look good using quilling elements.

In this way it is easy to assemble both the surface of the main character’s fur coat and to make the surroundings - trees, leaves, mushrooms. The work is done like this:

1. Cut colored (preferably double-sided) paper into strips about 5 mm wide.
2. Twist them into tight pieces using a toothpick (or a special tool). Leave the pieces tight or loosen them slightly. Glue the free end of the strip to the previous layer. Create the desired workpiece configuration.
3. Do all the details.
4. Stick them tightly to each other or place them at a distance.

How to make a volumetric applique

Another way to make an embossed hedgehog is this:

Corrugated paper applique

Another bright autumn applique “Hedgehog” can be made from this material, pleasant to the touch and varied in color. The sequence of work is as follows:

Thus, the “Hedgehog” applique made of colored paper can be made using different blanks and even types of material. Choose the option that is easiest or most interesting for your child to work with.

Despite the fact that there are already quite a lot of hedgehogs on the site, I want to offer one more option for creating it. This time it's an accordion paper hedgehog, a fun and very easy craft for kids.

Materials for work:

• Colored paper or not very thick cardboard of brown and beige color;
• Black felt-tip pen, glue stick, scissors.

Paper hedgehog with accordion step by step

Cut a sheet of brown A4 paper in half along its length. You will end up with a long strip that needs to be folded into an accordion, starting from its narrow side.

Fold all the paper into an accordion. Depending on their age, children can bend the folds, first in one direction and then in the other, from 5 mm to 1.5 cm.

Find the middle of the accordion and fold it in half.

Apply glue along either inner side and glue, forming something like a fan. Sometimes you may need to apply glue at the very bottom of this fan, securing the lower folds together. The hedgehog's needles are already ready.

Now is the time to draw the hedgehog’s appearance and paws. To do this, cut out a slightly elongated semicircle from beige paper, or preferably cardboard, the size of which is half the size of an accordion needle. Draw eyes, a nose and a wide smile on this semicircle with a black felt-tip pen. Cut out two strips from the same beige paper and round the corners; these will be the hedgehog’s paws.

Glue the hedgehog's head to the accordion, and attach the legs below. You will get such a cute and funny hedgehog made of accordion paper.

Made using the same technique.
