Homemade Fun: Gumnut Gnomes

August 13, 2010

The gumnuts we collected at the park have been transformed…into a family of gnomes. Perfect for Immy, who loves imaginative play, and simple to make with a little wool, felt and paint pens. The small nuts make perfect tea cups for our gnomes too :)

And if you haven’t checked out We Play yet this week be sure to stop by for a whole host of fun play ideas.

Love it, but they all get eaten by the chipmunks here!

So cute! Love these little gnomes.
Called my sons over to see these and they both liked them.
Then, Big Bro (6) asked if it was to learn about sharing, as he noticed that there are "3 little acorn cups but 4 gnomes"…

lovely. Love the comment about sharing too. Just letting you know the giveaway gifts have arrived. thankyou (a lovely top from Whimsy and the Seedlings – make your own jigsaw puzzle which has been tucked away for a rainy day). Was a good month for giveaways – Won a copy of Justine Clarks latest DVD from Squigglemum too. Nice after a long time of entering these things and not winning : )Lovely to get something fun (ie not a bill) in the mail

Been searching everywhere for gum nuts craft and guess where I ended up lol. I’m going to make gum nut elves and Santas.
