Autumn Trees

 
 This is similar to lots of other crafts out there, though I didn't get it from a particular site.  I cut a tree trunk freehand from some construction paper, and supplied each kid with glue and a pile of squares cut from some of their painting projects. (They like to cover the whole paper; I've used this in other crafts too.  Nice texture.)  It was a simple craft, but fun to see where they decided to put their "leaves."

We have so many leaves on the ground outside that I was happy to find a cute, easy craft to use some!

Collect some leaves outside.  Ours were dried, but I think if I do this again, I'll iron the leaves so they lay flatter.  Medium to small leaves worked best.

I glued the hedgehog templates to construction paper to make them a bit heavier.  It stood up better that way to all the glue and leaves.  Two cute hedgehogs, coming right up!
