Cook Time10 minutes
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • Hedgehog with an apple printable (available for free!)
  • Green construction paper
  • Glue or tape
  • Child-safe scissors

Instructions

  • Preparing the Hedgehog and Grass:
    Begin by printing out the Hedgehog with an apple printable. This adorable illustration sets the stage for the exciting activity to come!
  • Creating Tall Grass:
    To make the grass appear tall and realistic, carefully cut several vertical slits in the green construction paper. Be sure to leave a portion of the paper uncut at the bottom.
    Securely glue or tape a sheet of green construction paper over the printable. This will serve as the grassy surface where the hedgehog will hide.
  • The Grass Cutting Challenge:
    Now, the fun part begins! Hand your child a pair of child-safe scissors and explain that they have a mission: to find the hedgehog hidden in the tall grass. Their task is to cut the grass down, revealing the adorable hedgehog beneath!
  • Engaging Playtime:
    Encourage your child to carefully cut the grass, enjoying the sensory experience of holding the scissors, the texture of the paper, and the anticipation of uncovering the hedgehog.
