The Gnome Craft Book:

Gnome crafts offer a wealth of possibilities for activities with children, appealing to their imagination in a vivid and entertaining way.
Thomas and Petra Berger show how to make gnomes out of walnuts, twigs, wool and paper, as well as from a variety of other media. There are plenty of different types of gnome to keep children amused for hours.
Any of the characters in the book would be at home on a seasonal nature table. Includes instructions for making Astrid Lindgren’s classic gnome the Tomten.
