Paper Plate Fall Leaf Hedgehog Craft
We’ve been having a lot of fun crafting with fall leaves and we love how this Paper Plate Fall Leaf Hedgehog Craft turned out! So lovely, it’s really a great fall craft that encompasses the beauty of the season in a super cute hedgehog.
As with all of our fall leaf crafts, half the fun is getting outside to find the leaves. The more colors, sizes, and shapes the better. Then, cut a paper plate in half and glue the leaves until the plate is covered.
We have a Free Printable Leaf Hedgehog Template, too, for head and feet, which are the only other pieces needed.
Paper Plate Fall Nature Leaf Hedgehog Craft
To make our fall leaf hedgehogs, you’ll want to print our leaf hedgehog template.
You’ll also need fall leaves, paper plates, brown and black paper, small googly eyes, a black marker, a ⅝” circle paper punch, scissors, and glue.
Leaf Hedgehog Craft Supplies Needed
- Hedgehog Template
- Fall leaves
- Paper plates
- Light cardstock – brown, black
- ⅝” circle paper punch
- Googly eyes, small
- Black marker
- Scissors
- Glue
Fall Hedgehog Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by heading outside and gathering a bunch of leaves.
You’ll need to start with a paper plate, too.
Cut the paper plate in half.
Now, start gluing leaves all around the plate. You should be generous with the glue to be sure the leaves fully stick.
Continue gluing leaves until the paper plate is full.
Then, print the hedgehog template. You can print on brown paper and cut out, or print on regular paper, cut out, then trace and cut out of the brown paper. You will also need a small circle of black paper for the nose.
Glue the face shape to the front of the paper plate.
Add the circle nose in place. Glue an eye. Also, use a black marker to make a simple smile.
Finally, glue the feet in place at the bottom, flat edge of the paper plate to complete this super cute, and so very perfect for fall, hedgehog. Then just make sure you let the glue set so the leaves stay securely in place.
