Hedgehogs are one of the cutest denizens of the forest, and also one of the loudest! Who knew such a cute animal could make as much noise as a bear.

This little paper puppet isn’t noisy at all, it’s only as noisy as your child wants it to be (just kidding, it will be loud).

While most of our paper puppets are extremely easy to make, the hedgehog is a little more difficult as the spikes are more detailed than a regular puppet and it takes some skill to glue them into place.

But it was worth it for this awesome guy, right?

How to use our hedgehog puppet template

What you need:

our printable template – get it at the end of this guide
thicker paper (regular paper is fine)
drag
glue
coloring materials

Step by step instructions

Print out our hedgehog puppet template. We recommend using thicker printing paper as it will make the puppet more durable.

Color the design – you don’t need to color the entire sheet of paper, just the middle (and the accessories on page 2).

There are 4 sets of spikes – you will need 1 set for each puppet (we made 4 sets for ease of use in the classroom).

Cut off the thorns.

Go back to the first sheet of paper – fold and crease all the dashed lines.

Both horizontally and vertically.

Apply glue to the side that says glue on it.

Fold the remaining top part back.

Fold into an M shape (see image below).

Cut slits into the rectangle below the spines – this will make it easier to glue the spines onto the hedgehog.

Glue all 3 sets of spikes, one at a time, to the back of your hedgehog puppet.

Push your finger inside the puppet

And you’re ready to play!
