Handprint Gnome Matter What - Valentine's Day Keepsake Craft For Kids

These little guys are super easy to make, and they’re the perfect addition to your home decor or as a gift. See how it’s made in less than 10 minutes!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first, if you haven’t already, download and print our free “gnome matter what” file {listed above in the supply list} on a single sheet of colored cardstock.
  • Next up – trace your child’s hand THREE times on your white cardstock.
  • When done tracing, trim out each piece with your paper scissors. Each one will be a beard for your Valentine gnomes.
  • Set those aside.
  • Now grab your patterned scrapbook paper.
  • Cut out THREE large triangle hats. You can do all of them the same color or mix-match them like I did.
  • Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape, for EACH gnome, from the kraft colored cardstock.
  • Now you are ready to assemble it all together.
  • Start off my gluing down the THREE white handprint cutouts, in a row, on the colored cardstock paper. You want the fingertips facing downward but make sure you DON’T cover up the printed words on the bottom.
  • Follow up that step by gluing down {securing} the hats on the palms of the handprint cutouts.
  • Then glue down the oval noses to complete each gnome.
  • To finish off your Paper Valentine Gnome Keepsake, write your name in the provided space and add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it that Valentine’s Day spin! We added hearts on our paper hats but you can add ANYTHING you like!
  • Then display your Valentine’s Day gnome masterpiece proudly for ALL to see!!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished paper gnome keepsake on your phone and tag us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
