Christmas has come and gone, but that doesn't mean that the fun winter crafts have to end! When you're a kid, snow is the best part of winter. Bring the fun of snow indoors with these three easy snowflake crafts for kids.
Glitter popsicle stick snowflakes
What you'll need:
- 3 popsicle sticks
- craft glue
- paint brush
- glitter
- sequins and gems
What you'll do:
- Use your paint brush to coat the popsicle sticks in glue.
- Sprinkle the glitter over the popsicle sticks and allow them to dry.
- Once they are dry, layer the popsicle sticks on top of each other to form the snowflake, and glue them in place.
- Decorate the snowflake with sequins and gems.
Beaded snowflakes
What you'll need:
- white pipe cleaners
- beads in assorted colors
- scissors
- string
What you'll do:
- Cut the pipe cleaners so that you have three 6-inch segments.
- Hold one pipe cleaner piece vertically, then wrap the other two pieces around it so that they make an "X" across the vertical piece.
- Slide the beads on the pipe cleaner, alternating between colors.
- Fold down the edge of each pipe cleaner to keep the beads in place.
- Make a loop in the top pipe cleaner for hanging. Thread some string through the loop and hang the snowflake.
Coffee filter snowflakes
What you'll need:
- coffee filters
- scissors
- tape
What you'll do:
- Fold the coffee filters in half to form a semi-circle, then fold the semi-circle in half two more times.
- Use your scissors to cut along the edges of the folded coffee filter. You can play around with cutting out different shapes and seeing what kind of design they make.
- Unfold the coffee filter and lay it under some heavy books to flatten the folds. Use the tape to tape the snowflakes up in a window.
