Hedgehog Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

In puppet play, the hedgehog hand puppet by Hansa Creation can quickly become part of small stories. It is well suited to storytelling, puppet theatre and imaginative role play. New ideas often develop naturally during play.

The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is widespread across Europe, inhabiting gardens, parks and woodland edges. Its spine coat comprises around 8,000 spines that form a protective shield when it curls up. As a nocturnal insectivore, it devours slugs, beetles and earthworms. In winter, it enters true hibernation, with its body temperature dropping to 5 degrees.

Did you know that hedgehogs smear themselves with saliva when encountering new scents? They lick unfamiliar substances, produce foamy saliva and spread it over their spines — researchers suspect this "self-anointing" serves as camouflage or parasite defence.
