January 2023 - Snowflakes

Did you know that it’s possible to “let it snow” by cutting a folded piece of paper?
Prepare your imaginations, paper sheets, scissors…and a bit of geometry too – to see the magic happen.

Draw and cut a simple shape on paper like a circle, a square or a rhombus.

Fold your paper in half and half and half again.
Then draw your snowflake “details” and cut them (pay attention, folded paper can be a bit hard to cut).

Unfold to show your creation!

Have fun experimenting your own shapes and cuts and… let it snow!

Or you could use lolly sticks to create a snowflake
