Scoop Stick Garden Gnomes Supplies:

* Wooden Scoop Sticks {we found ours in the craft aisle at Walmart}
* Paint {or paint pens}
* Paint Brushes
* Colored Cardstock
* Scissors
* School Glue
* White Cotton Balls

Directions:

* First have children paint one half of the scoop to represent the body of the gnome {but make sure they don’t paint the head/face in just yet!}
* While they are working on that, cut out some tall but skinny triangular hats out for the gnomes to wear {one hat per gnome}
* To finish off the Scoop Stick Gnomes, have children glue on their hats and cotton ball beard on the side of the scoop stick that wasn’t painted. Then paint on some small black eyes and they will be ready to show off their awesome new creations!!!

Here’s another version you can try! Skip the scoop sticks and go with a wavy stick option instead!!! Just follow the above instructions the same way!!!
