Q-Tip Snowflake Craft

Here's a great idea to make a snowflake craft from Q-tips.

Materials:

• Q-tips
• construction paper
• white glue
• glitter or glitter glue
• snowflake pictures
• scissors

Directions:

1. Show the kids pictures of snowflakes and teach them that they are always different and have six sides.
2. Give them a bunch of Q-tips and make a snowflake design on paper. They can cut them to make smaller pieces, too.
3. Glue them in place at the junctions.
4. Brush lightly with glue and sprinkle on glitter or use glitter glue.

As an alternative, glue them on wax paper. When they dries, peel them off and hang up.

Salt Crystal Snowflake Craft

Here's a great alternative for making snowflake that's also a science lesson.

Materials:

• salt
• water
• pot
• heat resistant cup
• thick black paper or card stock(regular construction paper is too thin)
• narrow paintbrushes

Directions:

1. Before starting, talk about snowflakes and show them pictures of snowflake designs.
2. Boil water in a pot or kettle and pour into a heat-resistant cup or mug.
3. Add salt teaspoon by teaspoon and stir with a paintbrush until you make a super saturated solution and the salt doesn't dissolve any more.
4. Paint dots and snowflake shapes with the paintbrush. Allow to dry overnight. See the salt crystals that grow.
