The Little Gnome

The Little Gnome

8 months

Here's an easy way to entertain your active baby - ask him/her to paint with their palms and fingers!

Needed:


  • thick blue paper (А5);
  • white and red gouache (or fingerpaints);
  • soft brush;
  • jar of water;
  • PVA glue;
  • decorative eyes;
  • small red pompon.

Color the baby's palm with white gouache and make one print on the paper sheet (with fingers directed downwards) - thus you'll get the gnome head with a beard.

Paint the gnome's nose and hat with red gouache.

When the paints dry, glue the decorative eyes to the gnome's face and the red pompom to the hat.

Your cute craft is ready!

Wash your baby's hands with warm water and soap immediately after making the palm print.

Make photos of the process, upload to the App. Write about the experience and the little one's impressions.
