The Maths Gnomes

These are the maths gnomes that I made.  We are using Waldorf in P's homeschooling.  The gnomes have wonderful stories which help with learning the four processes.  So here are Gnome Plus, Gnome Minus, King Equals, Gnome Times and Gnome Divide.
We use the stories from http://ebeth.typepad.com/serendipity/gnomes-and-gnumbers-a-mat.html.
