Welcome teachers and parents, to the Gnomeful Wisdom Adventure!

Imagine a world where the virtues of kindness, bravery, and mindfulness are not just taught but lived through the playful spirits of enchanting gnomes. Welcome to Gnomeful Wisdom—where whimsy meets wisdom, where children and adults alike embark on a magical journey to self-discovery through the eyes of our gnome guides.

Our gnome characters are not just mythical beings; they are bearers of ancient wisdom, tailored to modern needs. Each gnome embodies a specific virtue, mindfulness practice or strength, serving as a beacon for personal development and emotional growth. This project aims to bring these characters to life, creating tangible connections between these age-old virtues and our everyday lives.

Gnomeful Wisdom Program Package

At the heart of Gnomeful Wisdom is the belief that everyone possesses a unique spark of courage, kindness, and creativity waiting to be nurtured and celebrated. Through engaging stories, activities, and discussions, the Gnomeful Wisdom program aims to empower children and adults to embrace these virtues and cultivate a deeper connection to themselves, others, and the world around them.

The package contains a range of whimsical and engaging resources for the classroom or home learning environment.

  • Gorgeous Gnomeful Cards

    The resource pack includes vibrant and whimsical images of 33 gnome characters, each representing a different virtue or wisdom. These images serve as visual anchors for children, sparking their imagination and inviting them into the enchanting world of Gnomeful Wisdom.

  • Durable Card Design

    The cards are printed in large 10cm x 14cm size, on quality 350gsm art card, with double-sided lamination. This makes the Gnome Wisdom Cards perfect for using with children of all ages, and displaying in a variety of settings, including classrooms, therapy sessions, and learning spaces at home.

  • Gnomeful Wisdom Guidebook

    Every gnome has a tale to tell. In our guidebook, you'll find a unique story for each of the gnome characters, illustrating their individual virtues and strengths. These narratives bring the gnomes to life, transforming each wisdom from a concept into a relatable, heartfelt story.

  • Educator Guide of Activities

    The pack includes a variety of hands-on activities designed to deepen children's understanding. From art projects and role-playing exercises to mindfulness practices and journaling prompts, these activities provide ample opportunities for children to engage with each wisdom in meaningful and interactive ways.

  • Gnomeful Passport

    The Gnomeful Passport activity is an engaging and interactive way for students to track their progress with the virtues and wisdoms they learn throughout the Gnomeful Wisdom program. Included is a printable passport template and badge-sized images of each wisdom card.

  • Wall Posters

    These printable A4-sized posters showcase the mindfulness practices imparted by each gnome. Display them around the room to serve as visual reminders for the children and prompts for reinforcement when needed.

We launched our Kickstarter Campaign on 1 July to produce the complete package of Cards, Guidebook, Educator Guide and Resource Kit pdfs.
