What you need:
- paper
- scissors
How to:
- Start by cutting your paper into a square. (If you are using a piece of copy paper, fold the top right corner down so that the top edge is lined up with the side edge. Trim off the extra part on the bottom.)
- Fold the paper in half diagonally to make a triangle.
- Fold it in half again.
- Place your triangle in front of you so that the long side is at the bottom. Fold the left side in to the middle, then fold the right side into the middle so that it is folded in thirds. It should now be shaped like an arrow. Trim the bottom so that it is a triangle again.
- Shape it! Cut and shape the points of the triangle, trim curves into the sides, cut out slits, making wiggly slits… have fun!
- Open up your snowflake. What kind of snowflake did you make?
