~ SnowFlakes~

~~Snowflake Painting~~





We first used white beeswax crayons to draw snowflakes
then we painted over them with watercolour paints......
many excited wows as they appeared.....................



~Crystal Snowflakes~


First we made snowflake shapes with pipe cleaners
then mixed borax with hot water in jars...............
we sat the snowflake pipe cleaners in the solution....
but mum how does this make crystal snowflakes????
you will have to wait and see.............
lots of peeping........

Then when they awoke in the morning............




mum mum come and see what has happened..........



Crystal Snowflakes


we placed them on our winter altar.



~Snowflake paper punch~


This is a fantastic book ,very well designed
and easy to follow instructions with beautiful designs.



Snowflake pattern pieces...............



Fold some paper..........................



Cut some edges off................



Trace around the patterns..............................



Carefully cut the pattern out.......................



Carefully start unfolding so intrigued at what it will be........



A beautiful snowflake..............




Really starts to feel colder in the playroom
looking at these on the window..........................
I think a fire needs to be added next...............
