POM SNOWFLAKES
|
Take a piece of dark construction paper, and draw a large X shape on it, with a pencil. |
|
Then draw a straight line through the middle of the X, so that you end up with a six-sided snowflake outline. |
 |
Give the paper to your child along with some glue and some small white poms. |
|
Have your child glue white poms all along the six sides to create a large snowflake. |
| Variation 1): Instead of poms, have you child glue on white pasta pieces. Use uncooked pasta and place it in a plastic zipper bag, along with some white paint. Remove pieces from the bag and let them dry overnight. |
Variation 2): Give your child some white chalk and have her draw her own snowflake on top of the six pencil lines.
