About This Program ✦
Hedgehugs is a programme presented in a single episode format. It follows a light‑hearted, hands‑on approach, inviting viewers to see everyday creativity at work. The show’s focus is on simple, nature‑inspired projects that can be enjoyed by anyone with a bit of curiosity and a few basic supplies. The story centres on three friends who set about making their own leaf “wands”. Using twigs as the core, they tie them together with string and embellish the ends with colourful autumn leaves. The activity is portrayed as a playful way to repurpose fallen foliage while having a bit of fun with the materials at hand. After their wands are complete, the trio turn their attention to constructing a small hedgehog house. They assemble a brick structure and line the interior with a cosy layer of warm bedding. The building process is shown step by step, highlighting how the bricks are arranged and how the bedding is laid out to create a snug environment. The finished brick home is intended as a safe haven for hedgehogs to spend the winter months. By providing a warm, insulated space, the friends aim to give the little creatures a comfortable place to hibernate until spring arrives.
