Materials:
- printer
- paper (I prefer construction paper as it's a bit sturdier)
- scissors
- OPTIONAL: crayons (or paint, markers, etc)
- string, thread, ribbon or wool
Instructions:
- Print template (there is only B&W available) and color as desired
- Cut out the template pieces (may require adult assistance and can
be done before hand.
- Cut on one of the lines of each snowflake right up to the center.
- Pick out the two matching snowflakes (this is good practice for
young children!)
- Slide the snowflakes together, top to bottom
- Glue a ribbon onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a
ribbon through
Options:
- instead of simply coloring the template, here are some thoughts
for alternatives:
- silver sparkles or sparkle glue
- Salt Drip
- 3 parts flour
- 1 part salt
- food coloring (blue would be nice)
- water
Mix together 3 parts flour, 1 part salt, food
coloring, and enough water to make a dripping consistency but
not too runny. Use a popsicle stick to drip onto paper
shapes. Will dry hard and sparkly.
- grated chalk (take a piece of sidewalk or chalkboard chalk and
rub it with course sandpaper to get chalk dust. Pour the dust
over glue covered paper.
