1. Create a Gnome Garden
After coloring your gnome pages, cut them out and use them to create your very own gnome garden! Place the gnome cutouts among potted plants, or tape them to popsicle sticks and stick them into the soil of your outdoor garden. It’s like having little gnome friends watching over your plants.
Fun Fact: Gnomes are often thought to be guardians of nature and protectors of gardens. In fact, many people believe gnomes bring good luck to the gardens they watch over!
2. Gnome-Themed Bookmarks
Cut the gnome coloring pages into neat bookmark-sized pieces. Laminate them or stick them on sturdy cardboard, and voila! You now have cute, personalized bookmarks to mark your reading adventures.
Fun Fact: Gnomes are typically portrayed as shy creatures who enjoy reading and storytelling, so they make the perfect companions for your book collection.
3. Make a Gnome Storybook
Turn those colorful gnome pages into the stars of their own storybook! After coloring the gnomes, encourage kids to come up with a fun story about their gnome’s adventures. They can create dialogue, describe magical places, and even draw new pages to add to the story.
Fun Fact: In Scandinavian folklore, gnomes (also called “tomtes”) are said to be the guardians of homes, looking after families and animals. This makes them great characters to imagine in a cozy story.
4. Gnome Greeting Cards
Turn your finished gnome pages into greeting cards for birthdays or holidays. Fold the pages, write a cheerful note inside, and share them with friends or family! They’ll love the handmade touch and the cute gnome designs.
Fun Fact: Gnomes are thought to be symbols of good fortune, so sending a gnome-themed card is like sending a little dose of luck!
5. Gnome Puppets
Color and cut out the gnome characters, then glue them onto popsicle sticks or straws to create your own gnome puppets. Put on a fun puppet show where your gnomes tell silly jokes, go on wild adventures, or solve mysteries.
Fun Fact: Gnomes have been known to be mischief-makers, so they’re great for creating funny, light-hearted puppet shows that make everyone giggle.
6. Gnome Fortune Teller
Create a fun fortune-telling game using your gnome coloring pages! Write silly fortunes or positive affirmations on the back of each colored page (like “You’ll have a magical day!” or “A surprise is coming your way!”). Then, kids can pick one to reveal their “gnome fortune.”
Fun Fact: Gnomes are often seen as wise little beings with magical powers, so it’s fun to think of them as fortune-tellers who have a special bit of advice to share!
