Cut Away Snowflakes

We used coffee filters to create snowflakes!  I folded the filters in half, then in thirds and stapled.  The children cut "bites" from each side to create their snowflakes.  The children loved this activity.  It was great to hear the children discussing ways to cut  their snowflakes so it wouldn't fall apart when opened.  They were so surprised and delighted to see their creations. We discovered that each snowflake is special and unique just like real snowflakes.
