Time to make cutout snowflakes! Your children, with your guidance, can cut out these fun and fanciful snowflakes from these printout templates. Follow the instructions below and create as many of these wonders as you like. After you have made a few start experimenting! We will soon have a snowflake contest where your own creation can be eligible to win some fun prizes! Speaking from experience, it may be best to do this activity in a non-carpeted part of the house if possible. Getting little slivers of paper out of carpeting can be a pain for even the best cleaning service!

You may like to use colored paper to glue your snowflakes on for special Christmas cards or colored markers and glitter to make your creations even more beautiful. After you have several snowflakes cut out you may want to hang them up in the window strung out on a garland or hang them from a rod as a snowflake mobile. You can tape thread to them and make ornaments or decorate packages by taping them on the wrapping. You can do lots of things with them! Have fun!
