Today marks the release of the Rhythm of the Home Spring edition! Great news for those looking for inspiration.
Again, I’m pleased to say I got to participate! To go along with the Sewing Box–inspired by Naomi, of course, I thought I’d post an idea that’s simple and fun for little hands and picks up on the hedgehog theme i keep gravitating towards. How can one resist?
This hedgehog requires only brown and white felt, a few buttons and some glue.
- Cut out the body shape of a hedgehog out of the white
- Cut a bunch of little triangles out of the brown.
- Using tacky glue, start gluing the triangles to the rump of your hedgehog, layering them as you get towards it’s head.
- Allow time to dry.
- With a needle and thread, help your child sew on the button for eyes and a nose and done!
Things to do with your new hedgehog:
: :Add magnetic stripping to make a sweet fridge decoration
: :Make more hedgehogs, and other animals to add to your felt board
: :Sew the hedgehog to a barrette clip to wear in your hair
: :Or a pin, for your jacket…
Making things with your kids can be magical! Their perspective is so unique and can really sparkle when you take on these projects together, Naomi had a completely different vision of what her hedgehog should be. She insisted on 2 eyes and I love how it turned out.
