Pinecone hedgehogs and rabbits
Autumn is a wonderful time of year for crafting. We had a large collection of pinecones we collected, so we wanted to make something with them. We decided to make hedgehogs and Pinky wanted to make a rabbit.
How to make pinecone hedgehogs
You need
- Pinecones
- Felt
- Googly eyes
- Glue
- Scissors
First you need to cut a shape out of the felt for the face. We cut a rounded kind of triangle shape for ours.
Glue the face on. We used PVA glue, which did work, but if you have something stronger it would last longer. 
Glue on 2 googly eyes, then cut out a small black circular piece of felt and glue it on for the nose and there you have a very simple, but cute looking hedgehog.
Pinecone rabbits
You need
- Felt
- Scissors
- Glue
- Googly eyes
- Pipe cleaner
To make a rabbit is very similar to the hedgehog. First make bunny ears shapes with the pipe cleaner and twist it round the top of the pinecone. 
Cut out a face shaped piece of felt and glue it on the pinecone.
Glue on the googly eyes. Cut out a little nose from felt and glue it on the face.
Cut a piece of pipe cleaner and bend it round in a v shape to make the legs. Glue the pinecone onto the pipe cleaner and you have a very cute little bunny rabbit.
Whilst we had the craft things out Pinky decided she also wanted to make a caterpillar, so she got some small pom poms, a lolly stick and glued the pom poms on the stick. She stuck googly eyes on and tried to draw a mouth, but that didn’t work out so well.
I must admit I love all of these creations and now have them on display on top of my fireplace, but I think the rabbit has to be my favourite. The children really enjoyed making them, it such a lovely fun quick autumn craft.

Thank you, I hope you have fun with them
This is an incredibly cute craft that I think even the not-so-crafty-mum (like me) could help her child do. Pinning for later!

These are great, we made pinecone owls at playgroup yesterday and I want to make them again with Daniel so might add these in to the mix as well. Great post and great ideas x
