No need to be afraid of of the idea of “pricks” coming from our Leaf Covered Hedgehog Friend! This adorable guy is super easy to recreate – I promise!

I recently came up with this Fall Themed Hedgehog kid craft idea and of course, there is a free printable template, to get those crafty juices flowing in no time!
All you need to do is download the file, print it, grab some decorative plastic leaves {I love Dollar Tree for them} and glue them all over the body of the hedgehog. Then add other embellishments you have on hand, for that custom look and show him off for the world to see!
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. We have also used this template with puffy paint for Valentine’s Day but of course, it’s great for fall as well!
Happy crafting, my friends!
