Gnomes are thought to be the nocturnal protectors of the earth, so they often become popular in the spring, when the plants start to bloom. Create a gnome for your home!
This adorable Gnome can be a super basic craft for a younger child, or you can let your older child get creative!
Paper Gnome
Supplies:
- 1 sheet of white paper
- 1 sheet of green paper
- pencil
- Scissors
- brown or black marker
- glue
- Optional: stickers
Directions:
1. Use a pencil to trace your child's hand on the white sheet of paper.
 |
2. Cut out the traced hand. This will become the Gnome's beard.
 |
3. Draw a hat shape on the green paper and cut it out. Here is the shape we used:
 |
4. Use the marker to draw an oval nose on the white beard. The nose should be slightly on the large side.
 |
5. Glue the hat on top of the hand so that the nose is peeking out from under the hat.
 |
6. Decorate the hat with markers or stickers if you would like.
 |
Now you can proudly display your Gnome in your home. Feel free to make a whole gnome family!
