How to make Gnome Valentine’s Day
1. Buy and download gnome templates at our store. Print each page of the gnome template on colored cardboard. Print the hat of your choice on red, pink or purple; White beard; cream nose and hands; gray shoes; and hearts on pink or red.
To save paper, you’ll find that we’ve included two templates on some of the pages. This way, you can cut the printed pattern in half and have craft pieces for two kids.

2. Cut each piece out of the pattern.
3. Add glue along the top of the beard and attach the hat to it. Then glue the nose to the gnome, overlapping the hat a bit. Next, glue the big heart shape to the center of the gnome beard. Finally, you glue the oval hands at the bottom of the heart in the same way that the gnome is holding the heart.

A classroom filled with cute fluffy cats would make a lovely display to hang outside the classroom or on a wall of art.
To personalize the Valentine craft even more, kids can write a friendly message like “I’m so glad I gnome you!” from within the heart, and gift their lover to a friend or family member for Valentine’s Day.
