Creative Projects
A winter time favorite is cutting Q-Tips to make beautiful, unique snowflakes. It is a good project for school aged children. I typically cut up a lot of Q-tips before getting started but older kids love to cut them up themselves. Here is what you’ll need to get started.
You Will Need:
Blue Craft Paper
Glue
Scissors
Q-tips Cotton Swabs
What to Do:
1. Cut circles out of the blue construction paper.
2. Cut Q-tips into various sizes.
3. Allow the kids to map out their designs on the paper circles to give their snowflakes a more intricate design.
Be sure to read the books below about snowflakes with the kids too!
