Directions

Download the gnome template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by gluing the eyes to the middle of the head.

Take the hat and glue it to the top of the gnome’s head.

Place the bunny ears on the gnome’s hat and glue them in place. Take the inner ears and glue them to the middle of the outer ears.

Next, take the beard and glue it just below the hat.

Position the nose so it’s slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyes and the top of the beard and glue it in place.

Position the completed head to the top of the gnome’s body and glue it down. Leave the bottom part of the beard unglued.

Place the shoes behind the beard and glue them in place along the bottom of the body.

Next, glue the carrot in the middle of the gnome’s beard. Take the carrot top and glue it to the top of the carrot.

Finish up by gluing the gnome’s hands on both sides of the carrot, to make it look like it’s holding the carrot in place.

Easter Ideas For Kids

This time of year is a fun time to engage kids with some entertaining and educational crafts and activities. We have lots of Easter ideas to keep kids learning all while using their imaginations and creativity.

Below are some of our favorite Easter crafts and activities, so all you have to do is choose the ones your little bunnies will be hoppy to make.

Easter Books For Kids

Reading books with your kids during Easter is an exciting activity that can bring the whole family together.

Not only is it a great way to get lost in a good story, but introducing them to literature has many other benefits like teaching literacy skills, improving language, increasing their attention span, and even teaching them important lessons.

Giving your children books as Easter gifts encourages and incentivizes children to learn as they explore and uncover a world of information through reading. This Easter, instead of filling those baskets with chocolate eggs alone, consider adding some books too!

There are so many great Easter books for kids, but these are some of our favorites. Grab them from the library or buy them to add to your child’s collection! They’re great for helping your child develop a larger vocabulary, focus, and more!
