How to make a hedgehog from pine cones

Another master class where we will need a bottle. True, not the whole one, but only its bottom.

Let’s take:

  • plasticine,
  • glue,
  • knife,
  • cones,
  • the bottom of a plastic bottle.

We cut off the bottom of the bottle, 4-5 centimeters in height.

Then we glue the entire upper part with plasticine. You ebay data  to take small but dense pieces. If you run out of plasticine, then take a shade that matches the color. It will not be very noticeable under the cones.

We select small cones and attach them to the base, pressing them into the plasticine.

If the cones are not firmly attached, add some plasticine to the place where you want to insert it.

On one side, we’ll leave a little space. We’ll glue the muzzle there.

And we will make it from gray or white plasticine. We eight benefits of jumping on a small trampoline a piece in our hands and form a cone. We will lift the edge a little and sharpen it, there will be a nose.

Then roll out a nose and eyes from black.

That’s all there is to this easy and very simple craft.

Step-by-step instructions for two plasticine crafts for kindergarten

Now let’s make two small crafts. We’ll only need a couple of pine cones and plasticine. This option can be offered to a preschooler. I think he’ll find it very interesting.

I suggest making two animals: one will stand and the other will lie down.

So, the first master class.

We take a pine cone. We cut off its sharp part, we philippines numbers to make it stand up.

Then, using sharp nippers, cut off the scales on one side vertically from bottom to top.

Take some yellow or white plasticine. And roll it into a sausage. Glue it to a place where there are no scales.

From black plasticine we make eyes, a nose and a mouth.

And also for stability we need paws made of plasticine of the same color.

Well, so that the hedgehog isn’t so sad, let’s make a mushroom for him.

This craft reminds me of a character from the cartoon “Tryam! Hello”, remember the Hedgehog singing there: “One – a daisy, two – a daisy”.

Now the second master class, where the hedgehog lies or stands on 4 legs.

Take a pine cone and plasticine. Make a cone out of plasticine and glue it to the blunt side of the pine cone. Mix pink or flesh-colored for the muzzle.

We attach eyes and a nose.

If desired, you can insert fir needles into the cone or attach a bunch of rowan berries.

And this is how he stands on his paws.

I also found a video instruction on how to make such funny friends.

In this video the whole creative process is given in great detail. At the very end there are photos of the works that the children made according to this description.
