Snowflakes

I thought I would repost a post from last year on Snow Flakes.  We always have a blast making these!

Cut around edges and then open and TaDa!

These ones turn out square like this..family 095
If you want them rounded on the last triangle for it like this instead…

These ones are my favorite!
We taped them to the kids ceiling in the bedrooms with string!  They were quite excited!!family 098
And here was the mess we had to clean up!

But it was worth it, because they had fun, and so did I!
I taught my kids one of my favorite poems from when I was a kid
“I saw a little Snowflake falling from the sky,
It played a little joke on me and hit me in the eye.”
Isn’t that so cute? I love it!
We talked about snowflakes and how everyone that falls is different.  Everyone we make is different!  Not one the same, just like us.  I found this poem and think it is really sweet…
Each of us a Snowflake
We are each of us a snowflake, not two of us the same.
Reflections of the endless loving Source from which we came.
Unique in form and beauty. Crystallized at birth.
Little flecks of heaven born to melt into the earth.
We are each of us a snowflake of infinite design.
Transitory dancers on the widow panes of time.
