Snowflakes, snowflakes and snowflakes

We read many winter books. Some of them are

The First Day of Winter by Denise Fleming

We made many snowflakes in different ways. First was from coffee filters. First fold the coffee filters in triangle shape and then cut many traingles. Open it apart and then decorate with glitter and color. We hung them later on a string.

We made snowflakes from painters tape. We taped in snowflake on the paper . R colored blue and purple and with some glitter. After drying, we peeled off the tape , ta da they were so beautiful.


This activity was inspired from makinglearningfun.com. I had cut some sbowflake patterns from the site. I also cut different shapes like hexagon, circle, traingle and oval from felt.
By using blue felt as the background, R has to copy the same patterns as in the cards using the felt pieces.


We also freezed food color and had fun apinting with them. The colors came out beautiful.

And we also enjoyed bike riding when the weather permits.
