🦔 Little Leaf Hedgehogs: A Cozy Fall Craft!

Tiny hands, crunchy leaves, and the cutest little woodland creatures! 🍂💕

Looking for an adorable fall craft that doesn't require an expensive trip to the craft store? This week's Buzzy B craft turns those beautiful fallen leaves into sweet little hedgehogs!

It's easy, inexpensive, and perfect for a chilly afternoon when the kids need something fun to do. Bonus: collecting the leaves is half the adventure!

Ages 3+ with help

20–30 minutes

Under $5 with supplies on hand

🧡 What You'll Need

• Colorful fallen leaves (dry and flattened)

• Brown construction paper or cardstock

• White paper or cardstock for the background

• Glue stick or school glue

• Scissors

• Black marker

• Googly eyes (optional)

• Pink crayon for rosy cheeks

🍂 Let's Get Crafty!

1. Go on a leaf hunt! Bundle up and collect small red, orange, yellow, and brown leaves. Look for different shapes and sizes.

2. Make your hedgehog. Cut a simple hedgehog face and body from brown construction paper. Give it a cute pointed nose.

3. Add the leafy spikes! Glue the leaves behind the hedgehog's body, fanning them outward to create its prickly back.

4. Give it personality! Add eyes, a tiny black nose, a smile, and rosy pink cheeks.

5. Make a fall masterpiece! Glue your hedgehog onto cardstock and decorate with extra leaves, acorns, or your child's name.

🐝 Buzzy Bonus: Make a Hedgehog Family!

Have everyone in the family make their own hedgehog! Big leaves for Mom and Dad, medium leaves for the big kids, and teeny-tiny leaves for the littlest family members.

Give each hedgehog a silly name, too. Sir Prickles, Hazel, and Professor Leafington are ready for their close-ups! 😂

💕 A Little Buzzy Reminder

The best part isn't making a perfect hedgehog. It's the leaf collecting, the giggles, the glue-covered fingers, and the memories made around the kitchen table.

Because sometimes the sweetest fall adventures are the ones you create together. 🍁
