Step 1: Paint the pebbles yellow

Paint the pebbles in yellow or light brown paint. We recommend using acrylic paints as they give a nice thick layer over the pebble (children’s paints sometimes don’t work as well).

If necessary paint 2 coats of paint on each pebble. You don’t need to paint the underside, as this won’t show.

Step 2: Paint on their brown backs

Now paint a large section at the back of the pebbles dark brown to make the hedgehog bodies.

Step 3: Add their faces and prickles

Paint on the eyes, noses and little zigzag patterns for the prickles, using a fine paintbrush and black paint.

You could use a black permanent marker like a Sharpie pen instead if you want to be more precise.

Why not make a whole pebble hedgehog family?
