  1. From a sheet of yellow paper, cut out a square, fold it in half diagonally, and then bend one of the sharp corners upward, forming a nose of a hedgehog of colored paper. We glue the workpiece to a sheet of cardboard.
  2. From a sheet of paper of a different color, we cut out a rectangle, which must be folded with an accordion.

A pretty funny hedgehog can be made from corrugated paper (crepe). The following tools will be needed:

  1. Having drawn 10 circles of the same size on the corrugated paper, cut them with scissors.
  2. Then all the blanks must be glued together in the center, dripping a couple of glue droplets. When the glue dries, use the scissors to cut the edges of the circle to the center. Note that all incisions are performed at the same time as possible. Hands need to fluff the incised tips, as a result of which we will have a fluffy lump - needles of the future hedgehog.
  3. From a sheet of cardboard or paper, cut the hedgehog blank: the head is elongated with a sharp tip and the body is round in shape with a radius of 1-1.5 cm less than the part with "needles."
  4. In the center of the lower layer of corrugated paper, apply glue and glue it to the trunk of the hedgehog.
  5. From white paper, cut out two small circles and attach to the product, we get an eye and a spout. We draw the line of the mouth, the pupil and paint over the entire spout. A merry hedgehog is made of paper ready!
