Snowflake Cutouts
What to do
- Cut an 8 ½ - by 11-inch sheet of typing paper into a square.
- Have children fold square in half twice to form a smaller square.
- Have children cut sections, corners and grooves out of the square’s side. When they open the paper up, they will have an interesting snowflake pattern.
Variation:
- This procedure can be used to make a number of interesting shapes.
- Have children fold the paper in a variety of ways and see what the resulting shapes look like.
