Hedgehog Covered In Leaves Craft
I recently came up with this Fall Themed Leaf Hedgehog kid craft idea and of course, there is a free printable template in this very post, to get those crafty juices flowing in no time!
All you need to do is download the file that you will find below, print it out on thick white cardstock, grab some decorative plastic leaves {I love Dollar Tree for them} and glue them all over the body of the hedgehog. That’s it! Easy peasy! You can also add other embellishments you have on hand, for that custom look and show him off for the world to see this fall season!
I sure hope because of this crafty fall themed post, those autumn vibes come out within you & your child today! Remember – you can easily change up this craft to fit your needs as well. Maybe you will want to use homemade puffy paint, sidewalk chalk or handprints instead – the choice is yours and I just know you are going to rock it regardless!
On that note, keeps scrolling for the full how-to and free printable template to get you started! Then when you finish it, snap a few pictures to share with us on our Facebook wall or tag us on Instagram. I wanna see how colorful your hedgehog friend turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
