A little Snowwhite and even smaller wooden dwarfs are so much fun to play with for our youngest mini-monsters. So let's get started! If you like painting then this is your craft! A steady hand is useful for this but if you do not have it, you just keep it simple, even more fun!

How to make Snowwhite and the 7 dwarfs

We start with the dwarfs:
because they walk through the forest every day, muted colors are useful for them. So we choose 7 different forest colors.
Do mind! Dopey wears a coat/dress and has no beard!

Paint the bodies of the gnomes.

Orange is too bright, we mix with brown.

All bodies a colour? Let it dry!

Tips

  • After each painting each colour, let the paint dry really well before starting a new color.
  • With small bits to paint you not only support your painting hand on your work surface, but also the hand that holds your pegdoll.

Mix ocre with white for the dwarf's heads.

Paint all the dwarf's heads and necks in this colour.

While the heads dry you paint Snowwhite's skirt yellow.

For Snow White's head we mix in some more white and a drop red.

Allow for Snow White's head to dry well first.

Now paint the blue body of the dress.

Draw a line around the dwarfs.

Use the marker to draw a line all around the center of each dwarf's body, except for Dopey.

Paint pants on the other 6 dwarfs.

Draw legs and feet on the dry paint.

Fill all with paint then allow the paint to dry again.

Paint Snowwhite's hair black and her collar white.
