Leafy Hedgehogs Craft

-Fall is a season that brings a lot of natural beauty with it, and what better way to celebrate it than by creating a fun and easy craft that bring the outdoors in. Today's craft is is inspired by the hedgehog characters in our children's book , You Are a Gardener. Gardener Kelsey's brand new video shows us how to make these easy and adorable Leafy Headgehogs with very minimal materials.
Fun Gardener Fact: In today’s culture hedgehogs are seen as positive animals that symbolize happiness, motherhood, and calmness. They are loved by people because of their relaxed and non-aggressive behavior. Overall, hedgehogs are simply calm and relaxed creatures that symbolize everything that is positive in the world. We felt hedgehogs would be the perfect choice for this particular page of the book. Our illustrator @kdel76 did such an amazing job at capturing an open and intimate moment.
Here are some additional ideas and tips to help you make the most of your fall hedgehog craft:
-Gather a variety of leaves in different colors and sizes. This will give your hedgehogs a more realistic and interesting look.
-Use a clear drying glue to attach the leaves to your hedgehog shape or double sided tape.
-Experiment with different arrangements of leaves to create different textures and patterns on your hedgehogs. (You can also add acorns or other natural materials to give them even more character.)
-If you're hanging your hedgehogs on a window, use clear string or fishing line to give the illusion that they're floating in mid-air.
-You can also make a larger version of the hedgehog and use it as a centerpiece for your fall-themed table setting or Thanksgiving.
-If you're feeling adventurous, try making other animal shapes using leaves and natural materials. Some ideas include birds, butterflies, and squirrels.
Remember, the key to a successful fall Leafy Hedgehog Craft is to have fun and let your creativity run wild. Happy crafting gardeners!
