Snowflakes

It is good to be children sometimes and never better than at Christmas when its mighty Founder was a child himself.
charles dickens


To make a lacy wonderland of paper snowflakes,  fold squares of white paper into 8ths. Make random cuts in paper. Unfold paper to delicate surprise.

Simple snowflakes made from coffee filters:
Fold the coffee filter in half and then in half again. Cut small triangles out of the folded edges. Unfold the filters to see the snowflakes that have been created


Snowflakes Falling
(sung to Mary had a little lamb)
Snowflakes falling from the sky
from the sky, from the sky,
Snowflakes falling from the sky
To the earth below

Watch them as they dance and whirl.
dance and whirl, dance and whirl.
Watch them as they dance and whirl
Soft white winter snow.
