We love doing handprint crafts that go beyond your usual routine – painting your hands and pressing them in. These are not suitable for toddlers (unless you are making a keepsake for yourself or family members) as they will not be able to go through the process.

Most preschoolers will need help cutting but many preschoolers can make this handprint hedgehog craft on their own. It all depends on how good your child is with scissors.

We thought this craft project would be really fun to do in the classroom to use as a personalized bulletin board or classroom door decoration, with each student making their own handprint hedgehog.
