Fir cone and plasticine toy

A fir cone will represent the body and "spines" of the hedgehog. Take a piece of plasticine and mold a sphere for the head. Attach the head to the wider base of the cone.

From plasticine of a different color, mold and add the eyes, nose and ears. You can mold two small pieces for the legs or paws, which will be attached to the scales of the cone. It is a handmade, unique and ecological toy!

Pinecone Toy Cream

These nutritious, natural materials were used to create adorable pinecone toys. The methods used included pinecones, colorful pieces of felt or foam, wiggle rods, cardboard circles (for the face), dry branches and leaves, string, and knots.

First, we cut out circles from cardboard and painted them to create the face, then glued the eyes on. We also used pinecones as bodies and added felt pieces to the pinecones to form arms and ears. We glued dry branches to the legs and decorated some accessories with leaves. Finally, we secured all the pieces together to complete our fun and creative natural toys.

Our finished toy is a natural and adorable character made from a pine cone. Adding colorful felt arms, wiggle eyes, and a smiling face creates a fun figure that sparks children's imagination. With legs made of dry twigs and natural leaf ornaments, the toy takes on a warm and creative look, inspired entirely by nature.
