Create a one-of-a-kind snowflake that will never melt and look gorgeous on your tree! Kids can make tons of these easy snowflakes and decorate them differently to create a tree filled with these ornaments. It makes a great way for kids to practice cutting out shapes and drawing and tracing lines for a symmetrical snowflake!

What You Need:

  • Blue foam sheet
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Cup
  • Hole punch
  • Thin ribbon
  • Glitter glue
  • White paint
  • Small paintbrush

 

What You Do:

  1. Have your child draw a perfect circle by tracing a drinking glass onto blue foam, and then cutting it out. This will be the background for the snowflake.
  2. Next, draw a unique snowflake on the circle with pencil, by drawing an intersection of six lines and decorating them.
  3. Paint a little white paint onto the snowflake sketches, which will make the glitter look even shinier!
  4. Now your child can carefully squeeze glitter glue over the pencil lines to create the snowflakes.
  5. Punch a hole at the top of the ornament and string a ribbon through it to make a loop.

Hang this dazzling ornament somewhere special!
