The holiday season is upon us! Whether or not you live in a country that’s cold this time of year, snow is forever linked to Christmas because of the many Christmas carols and movies of Santa Claus in the North Pole. Paper snowflakes, hanging from the ceiling or taped onto windows, are a common sight!
Have you ever made paper snowflakes with your students or children? I remember doing this activity in class every year as an elementary school student, and I’ve also done this craft many times with my students. It’s a fun, easy way to decorate a home or classroom for Christmas, and because of the listening involved (following instructions), it can be educational, too.
Print out the handout (optional) and read the instructions out loud as your students follow along (or pair students up and have them read through the instructions together). For very young or low-level learners, try the Basic Snowflake on page 1. For older kids or more advanced learners, continue with the 3D Snowflake on page 2. There are helpful images on the handout to guide your kids through the process. If you have access to computers, you could also watch Tara’s video (http://bit.ly/SnowflakeVid) on how to make a snowflake (her instructions are the same as those on the handout). Have fun!
