🧑‍🎨 Expert Tips

Use Plastic Eggs for Durability: Opt for plastic eggs as the base for the gnome craft to ensure durability and ease of handling for young children.
Pre-Paint Eggs for Convenience: Paint the eggs with cream-colored craft paint in advance to save time and allow the paint to dry thoroughly before crafting.
Create a Sturdy Hat: Cut a triangle from blue or red cardstock, round the bottom, and glue the two bottom corners together to form a secure hat for the gnome.
Attach Marshmallow Beard Carefully: Glue approximately 11 miniature marshmallows in a row on the front of the egg to create a beard, ensuring they are securely attached.
Add Facial Features: Glue a single marshmallow below the hat, paint it cream, and use a black marker to draw eyes on each side for facial features.
Supervise Crafting with Edible Materials: While using marshmallows, ensure children understand that the marshmallows on the outside of the egg are for decoration and not for consumption.
