Paint Me a Story - I'm a Gnome

I'm a Gnome, by Jessica Meinglehause is punny.  I know that in March, the leprechauns get a lot of attention but there are a lot of other mystical creatures in the forest as well.  You might come across a fairy who gets confused.  Gnomes are just cute and fun - so we thought we would bring this magical story into our spring story book lineup.  

When it is over the children will be invited to paint a figurine of a gnome.  The glazes we paint with are lead free and non-toxic.  They usually wash right out of clothing, but I would not dress to impress, just in case.  The children will be offered a smock and the projects will be available within a week after painting them.  Any plates or bowls that are painted are dishwasher safe and microwave safe so they can be use safely for food.
