traveling gnome

Today, I made a traveling gnome. It traveled all over the house! Here is what you need:

wood cylinder                                        sharpie
cotton ball                                              paper

Make a cone out of construction paper and glue it onto one end of the wood cylinder. Glue a cotton ball near the bottom of the cylinder and draw a face on it that looks like a gnome. Then, take it on trips and vacations so it can travel around the world! Take pictures of it every time it goes to a new place!

Other Ideas
Make a scrapbook of all the places your gnome has traveled to, or give a traveling gnome to your friend to be a memo of all the interesting places she's ever been to! Also, if you don't travel a lot, just take pictures of him all over your house. Always remember that the choice is yours!
