SNOWFLAKE CRAFTS FOR KIDS: Arts and Crafts Activities for Making Paper Cut Snow Flakes for Winter with Instructions for Children and Preschoolers

Snowflake themed crafts are perfect for children during the Christmas and winter season. They also make the best Christmas and winter prom decorations too. You can turn any ordinary household item such as dinnerware and bedding into Christmas themed items just by using a little paint and/or glitter, especially when you are unable to find exactly what you want in the stores.

If you want to be creative and you are up to the challenge, you can make an edible snowflake from lots of white marshmallows and toothpicks. You can also make a beautiful snowflake ornament from a white chenille stem and beautiful beads. You can look below for more interested snowflake craft ideas and tutorials.

Cutting and Folding Paper Snowflakes

Cutting Paper Snowflakes

Paper snowflakes make beautiful ornaments on a Christmas trees and look really cool when taping it to your windows. They may be made of light yellow, silver, gold, or white paper. Three thicknesses of tissue paper make effective snowflakes. Obtain a square of paper. Fold it in the center, then again in halves. This will divide the paper into fourths, as pictured in figure1. Fold the quarter into 2 thirds, as seen in figure 2. Then sketch the outline of a snowflake as shown in Fig. 3. Open. Instead of sketching an outline you may cut free hand the outline of a star. Make narrow slashes all around the outside to give the star a light airy look. String the snowflakes on a very fine thread. Hang on the branches of the tree.

Instructions for Making Snowflake Placemats

Instructions for Making Snowflake Placemats

Take a sheet of white paper 8 x 11 inches. Fold it in half, then in half again, and in half once more, making eight thicknesses. Now cut with scissors any design that you choose all around the edges—triangles, half circles, crescents—as shown in the picture above. When the sheet is opened, the effect is lovely. To make a sturdy place mat for the children's tea party, paste this lacy sheet on a sheet of colored construction paper. It is very effective. The children can make a set of these, all with different designs. Figure 8 Eight thicknesses of regular-weight paper are difficult for tiny fingers to cut, but younger children will enjoy doing this with paper napkins and making up their own designs.

Cutting Cool Snowflakes

To make some pretty amazing looking snowflakes, try a different way to cut them. Most snowflakes are made by folding a rectangle piece of paper in half over and over again. This time, use a large bowl to trace a perfect circle. Then cut out the circle, fold it in half, and then fold it in half again, and then one last time until it looks like a slice of piece. Then draw a pattern on it and cut it out. These snowflakes will look like a traditional snowflake and turn out so cool. Decorate your school windows with lots of snowflakes when it is Winter time. Brrrrr....its cold in here. :)
