Here are a few different ways I found to make snowflakes. The coffee filters turn out so pretty. The marshmallow snowflakes would keep my kids busy for hours! have fun...
Colorful Coffee Filter Snowflakes
http://www.creativekidsathome.com/activities/activity_66.shtml#SnowflakesMaterials (coffee filters, markers, newspaper, scissors)
- Round coffee filters are easiest for the younger children. Any shape works with older kids.
- Color with markers. Any shapes, any design, any amount.
- Plan to experiment with the first ones until the children can see how they turn out.
- When finished coloring, move the snowflakes onto newspaper and spray with water. The children can flick drops of water on them, ring a wet wash cloth over them, anything to get water onto the colored filters.
- They dry fast and are very sturdy-they don't fall apart.
- Fold at least three times, and then cut out shapes for the snowflake.
