Make this beautiful three dimensional snowflake to hang in the classroom or at home! This is a good activity for kids to do with their caregivers. Caregiver or teacher will need to assist with stapling. You will need:
- Six equal sized pieces of square paper
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Glue stick or tape
- Stapler
What to do:
- Fold all six pieces of paper into triangles. Starting at the folded edge, draw parallel cutting lines that extend from folded edge to centre of triangle. Make sure your cuts stop just before reaching the centre of triangle so that the paper remains a single piece
- Cut along the cutting lines and then unfold the paper. Find the loose corners of the smallest square on your paper, and bring them in together, taping to secure
- Flip your paper over, and bring the next set of corners together, again taping to secure
- Continue flipping paper and bringing corners together until you have completed the square. Repeat for other 5 squares
- Hold ends of 3 snowflake pieces together, and staple through ends. Staple through sides of snowflake pieces where each piece touches the next one. This will keep your finished snowflake from flopping over
- Staple together all six ends to complete your snowflake. Use a piece of string to hang from the ceiling, or tack or tape to the wall.
