Simple Paper Handprint Gnome – Kid Craft Idea For Spring!

Inspired by the children’s book No, No, Gnome! by Ashlyn Anstee, today I present to YOU our rather easy Paper Handprint Gnome kid craft idea!! It’s absolutely perfect for story time and/or a spring craft to pass the time indoors!

“For fans of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and No, David! comes a tale about a very small gnome who has some very big ideas about the school garden.

Gnome cannot wait to help his friends harvest the school garden! But his eagerness and excitement get him into trouble, leaving them all saying, “No, no, Gnome!”

The author/illustrator of Are We There, Yeti? delivers a sweet new picture book starring a loveable little hero who has a whole lot of energy…and heart.”

So what are you waiting for? Everything you need to know for this adorable paper gnome w/handprint beard craft, can be found below! It’s super simple – I promise!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share a picture of your paper handprint gnome with us on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for your gnome friend! #gluedtomycrafts
