How to play

Tap it to make it hop and light its lantern.

Notes

In old European tales, gnomes were small, shy folk who lived underground and guarded treasure. The first garden gnomes were made of clay in Germany in the 1800s.

Tap it and the gnome gives a little hop, and the lantern in its hand lights up with a warm glow, then goes out again. This one wears the classic outfit: a red cap, a white beard and a belt around a green shirt.
