The Little Mom Aid

This Fall craft is fun and easy! Toddlers and big kids will enjoy creating their very own unique Fall Leaf Hedgehog Craft.  This autumn activity will get you and the kids outside and enjoying the gorgeous fall weather.  Have them collect leaves in the yard or go for a walk.  My girls and I walked around the block and they picked up a bunch of leaves.  My eldest (3) loved carrying them around in a little basket. 

We used our leaves to create the cutest little fall leaf hedgehogs! Using the free hedgehog template and your collection of fall leaves, you and your kids can make some adorable and colorful hedgehogs too!

I hope you and your kids have fun creating this prickly little fall leaf hedgehog!

Happy crafting and enjoy the crisp fall air!
