How to Make a Paper Snowflake!

Let’s Make Paper Snowflakes!

Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun making paper snowflakes. My friend Caitlin is here to help us celebrate the changing seasons. Are you ready to get started?

What You’ll Need

To make your own paper snowflakes, you’ll need a few things:

• A square piece of paper
• Scissors (make sure your parents know you’re using them!)
• A pencil (if you want to plan your design)

Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s start making our snowflakes!

1. Take your square piece of paper. If it’s not square yet, fold one corner over to make a triangle and cut off the extra paper.
2. Fold the paper in half to make a smaller triangle.
3. Unfold it to see the crease. This will be your guide.
4. Fold the lower corner up to the crease and overlap it a bit.
5. Flip the paper over and do the same on the other side. It should look like a little tulip or fox face.
6. Fold the whole thing in half again, like an arrow.
7. Use your pencil to draw your design. Remember to keep the main fold solid, as it will be the snowflake’s main branch.
8. Carefully cut out your design with scissors. If you make a mistake, don’t worry! It might just make your snowflake more unique.
9. Unfold your paper carefully to reveal your snowflake!

Enjoy Your Snowflakes!

Now you have a beautiful paper snowflake with six sides, just like real snow crystals. You can hang them on your window, walls, or even from the ceiling. They look great anywhere!

Remember, each snowflake is unique, just like in nature. So, have fun and be creative with your designs. We hope you enjoyed making snowflakes with us. Feel free to send us pictures of your creations!

Thanks for joining us, and see you next time!
