Take an Art Break: Make a 3-D Snowflake

There is snow in the mountains where I live, so this is as good a day as any to learn how to make 3-D snowflakes. Go to http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-3D-Paper-Snowflake for step-by -step instructions. I’ve been making them for years and have taught first graders as well as grandmothers how to do it. The final result can be enhanced with spray glitter and be the star on a Christmas tree.

In the winter, I work at the local ski resort’s First Aid room. One of the first activities we do is make the snowflakes and decorate the room for patients. Not only do we receive many compliments all winter long, but we’ve taught more than one injured skier how to make them as they recuperate.
