Snow Flake Making

Our supervising teacher visited with us last month. It really was quite funny. She came in, set some books down on the desk and told the picklets she needed help. She had bought some really neat snow flake books and needed help figuring out how to fold the paper. That set the picklets in motion. Who woulda thought that we could spend 2 hours folding paper and snipping snow flakes? (I never did figure out how to fold the paper so I took pictures)

After folding the paper the right way, the picklets found it easier to draw the pattern on and then cut. This is a western design. It has covered wagons, cacti and bulls head.


Despite Sweet's fake smile, the snowflake turned out quite neat.


Sweet also made this neat butterfly snowflake.


Dill was the first to figure out how to fold the paper. When he tried to show our supervising teacher he couldn't figure it out and had to go thru the process again. He made some neat snowflakes too.




Chip made this into a challenge. After making regular sized snowflakes...


...he decided to see how small he could make them.


He had to use tweezers to hold the paper.

But the end result was great!


It was a fun afternoon. I totally plan to borrow these books at some point within the next year to make some presents. I have some neat ideas swimming around. :-)
