Gnomes are small earth dwellers that first appear in Renaissance writings. They have their own distinct culture – not to be confused with dwarves, brownies or leprechauns. Gnomes may have produced a less elaborate literature than some of the other little peoples, but they have architecture easily recognized by its inventive use of bark, pinecones, shells and twigs.
Construct a Gnome House and an extended family of Gnomes. Learn the resourcefulness of Gnomes (and others who construct Gnome Gardens around the world) in adapting tree parts, clay, and cast-off containers to build and furnish your house. Master Gnome Arts – carpentry, pottery and weaving. Learn Gnome stories, medicine( with particular plants) and music. Join the class in setting up a Gnome village that your parents can visit on Friday.
Your House will be prepared to withstand rain and snow so it could fit comfortably outside where Gnomes are most comfortable.
