Paper Snowflakes

Every year when the days get shorter and the temperatures fall, the Parker family gets that gleam in our eyes dreaming of the elusive white stuff. All the signs point to it. Our tongues crave it. Yet, it keeps us waiting. So we turn to making our own.

I found two really great sites for instructions on making paper snowflakes.

For the right way to fold the paper, this easy to follow video is cute and really helpful! Way better than diagrams you'll find at other sites.

And for simple snowflake patterns that even kids can do, this site is the best. There are lots of others out there, but they tend to be quite intricate and hard for little hands. Plus these designs are classic and bold.

We are having fun playing the the (paper) snow. Emeline wants to put some final touches on them namely glitter. There might be a blizzard after all without the soggy socks or frozen toes.

Pictures to come...
