Hey kids, this week we will be learning about different animals. We will be looking at the eating habits, color, looks, and daily lives of different animals all week. Today we will be learning about a very interesting animal, the hedgehog! We will learn all about them, and then we will be creating our own hedgehogs out of craft supplies. Creating these hedgehogs will help you learn what each part of the hedgehog does. Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals that are covered with both hair and protective spines. Nocturnal means a creature that is active during the night. They are small, rodent-like creatures with small ears and a black nose.

After you have created the spikes, you’ll want to put them into the brown textured fabric by pushing them through the fabric. These will be the spines that hedgehogs use to protect themselves from danger.
You will have to fill the back half of the fabric so it looks like a real hedgehog. The spikes should be facing backwards. After you have created the fur, you will have to attach it to the body. To do this, you will glue the fabric to the top of the egg carton, with the spikes on the back of the carton, facing backwards. Then, glue the tip of the fabric together to create the face of the hedgehog. The tip that you’ll be creating is the nose, which hedgehogs use to find their
