Handicraft for kids December 16th, 2009
I just realised I had not been posting the handicrafts which we had been doing. The last handicraft post was back in 2008 March! *Faint* Where I shared how to create an Easter Bunny using a handkerchief.
So today, the handicraft post is back. This time >>>> SNOWFLAKES!
The things you need…
First fold the paper into half as shown below… (see arrow)
Then fold the paper into half again….. (see arrow b elow)
Half it again, but diagonally this time… (see arrow)
Without turning or flipping your paper, fold it UP as shown below… So that the shorter side is inline with the longer side….
Snip off the extra pointy end…as demonstrated by Binbin.
(the boys INSIST that I mention which hand belongs to who.) *laugh*
Use a marker to draw as shown….
Cut along the line….
Slowly open it up and Ta-Daa…. there you have it > SNOWFLAKE!
Either use a bluetack to stick them on your windows
or poke a hole on one of the ends
and tie a string to it
so that you can hang them on your Christmas Tree.
*wink*
Have Fun!

Waah! You are so fantastically clever.
I have not bothered to think of any decos this time round as we are in the midst of moving (still). But Thanks for your ideas. Will do some with my boys.

Oppps, snowflakes has only 6 sides, so you may need to fold your paper another way to get 6 instead of 8 sides.
Here’s a really easy instruction to follow.
