Directions:

  • First things first, if you haven’t already, download and print our free “gnome for the holidays” file on a single sheet of gray cardstock.

  • When done tracing, trim it out.
  • Set it aside.
  • Now grab your patterned scrapbook paper.
  • Cut out a large triangle hat from it.
  • Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape from the kraft colored cardstock paper.
  • Now you are ready to assemble it all together.
  • Start off my gluing down the white handprint cutout, right in the center, of the gray colored cardstock paper. You want the handprint to be the “O” for the gnome phrase. You will want the fingertips facing downward but make sure you DON’T cover up the printed words.

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!
