About these gnome coloring pages

Bearded gnomes in tall pointed hats fill these gnome coloring pages, from Christmas helpers to spring gardeners. Children ages 3 to 5 can start with a chubby Christmas gnome holding a wrapped present or a kawaii gnome sheltering under a toadstool umbrella. At ages 6 to 8, a gnome fishes by a lily pond and another hangs an ornament on a little potted tree. Kids 9 and up get two gnomes in a vegetable patch and a gnome hanging a wreath on his snowy cottage, and teens and adults can fill a Nordic folk-art gnome or a toadstool cottage in a blooming garden.

Print the Christmas gnomes for holiday parties or a quiet December afternoon, then switch to the garden pages when seeds go in each spring. The vegetable patch page pairs well with planting real radish or carrot seeds in a paper cup.

Also in christmas coloring pages, winter coloring pages, spring coloring pages, cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Gnome facts to share

  1. Clay garden gnomes were first made in Germany in the 1800s and soon spread to gardens across Europe.
  2. In Scandinavian folklore, a small bearded farm spirit called a tomte or nisse watched over the farm, and families left him a bowl of porridge at Christmas.
  3. The word gnome was popularized in the 1500s by the Swiss physician Paracelsus, who described gnomes as spirits of the earth.

Color idea: Give each gnome a bold hat color, keep the beard white or soft gray and add a rosy nose; in the garden scenes, use fresh spring greens and bright tulip colors.

Gnome coloring page questions

Which gnome pages are best for Christmas?

The Christmas gnome holding a present, the gnome decorating a little tree and the gnome hanging a wreath on his snowy cottage all suit December. The Nordic folk-art gnome, patterned with stars, snowflakes and pine sprigs, is a good pick for older kids and adults.

Why do some gnomes have hats over their eyes?

The look comes from Scandinavian Christmas decorations, where the gnome, called a tomte or nisse, is shown as a beard, a round nose and a tall hat with no eyes showing. The kawaii gnome under a toadstool umbrella has big round eyes instead, so kids can compare the two styles.

Which gnome page suits preschoolers?

Try the chubby Christmas gnome or the kawaii gnome holding a toadstool umbrella. Each has one large figure with thick outlines, and the big hat and beard are easy to fill with chunky crayons.
