We used our painted golf tees to create this cute gift for Dad. What father wouldn't love to have this little creature on his desk or nightstand?
I cut a styrofoam egg in half and my 3 year old painted it.
After it dried, I glued on some google eyes and he stuck in our decorated golf tees.
Our wild porcupine:
Our domesticated porcupine:
This would be sweet packaged with the book Just Me and My Dad
. Little Critter and his dad spend some special time together camping, fishing, and telling ghost stories. (I realize he's not technically a porcupine but close enough...)
If you wanted to do this for a fun book project and not a gift, A Porcupine Named Fluffy
is an adorable book about how Fluffy the porcupine tries to live up to his name by making himself fluffy. He tries to become a cloud, soaks in a bath, and covers himself with whipped cream. Discouraged when none of these things work, he runs into a rhinoceros named Hippo. They both find this so hilarious, that they become friends and stop minding their names.
this is such a cute idea!! i used to love the Little Critter books from when i was a kid! i'd love it if you linked this up to my party!

this is cute, and when I saw the little critter book I just knew we will have to try this out! We(my boys 3yr and 1yr) love little critter and I am going to try to find some crafts for us to do this summer with some of these books. Now we have one to start with. Thanks for sharing-jaime @ frogs and snails and puppy dog tails
