Large Snowflake Print

• Make snow pictures. Have students submit a picture of themselves playing in the snow, or take pictures of students in their winter gear. Then, glue each student’s picture to the center of the snowflake. Students can decorate or add a paragraph about what they were doing in the picture.
• Create a “Unique as Snowflakes” bulletin board. Give each student a snowflake to cut out and decorate. Then, students write a unique fact about themselves on their snowflake. Use snowflakes to decorate your classroom door or bulletin board with the title: We are as unique as snowflakes.

Medium Snowflake Print

• Learn snowflake symmetry. Students use these center snowflakes to show how each snowflake fits. After that, they can make their own symmetrical snowflakes.
• Contrast drawing: Cut out and place the snowflakes on the paper. Paint over the snowflakes. When the paint dries, remove the snowflake to reveal the real snowflake.
• Study ice crystals. If you have ice, look at it under a magnifying glass or microscope. Then, use these printed snowflakes, salt, and glue to create a snowflake with the same crystal features.

Little Snowflake Printed

• Decorate the winter alphabet: Cut out these small snowflakes and give the students large letters. Students glue the snowflake to the letters to create a winter alphabet.
• Create creative snowflakes. Cut out these snowflakes, then use a hot glue gun to trace the snowflakes for a template. Use watercolors and paint snowflakes, then sprinkle salt over the paint to get the full effect.
• Snow figures. Use these snowflakes as tricks for math problems involving snowflakes. Students can use them to show how many snowflakes there are when seven of one kind and eight of another fall from the sky. Or how many are left when eight and four fall on their tongue and melt.
• Ask students to draw a picture of themselves and use these snowflakes to decorate their picture. What would they look like as a snow queen? Like a snowman? Are you suddenly covered in snowflakes?

Snow Writing Paper

• Use this snow writing paper to engage students in writing about winter topics, such as:
  • What is your favorite thing to do when it snows?
  • How would you spend a snow day?
  • What can you only do when it snows?
  • Let’s say you’re describing snow to someone who’s never had one. How would you describe it?
  • If you live in a warm place, what if you wake up one day and see snow on the ground?
• Students can research an animal that lives in the snow, such as an arctic fox or a polar bear, and write a paragraph describing the animal and how it adapts to life in the snow.

Snowflakes in Various Sizes

• Make 3D snowflakes. Cut out these snowflakes and use the cutouts to create 3D snowflakes that you can put on a bulletin board or decorate your classroom.
• Sort out the snowflakes. Give the students scissors and encourage them to cut these snowflakes out, then sort them by size or other characteristics.
• Build snow trees. Students cut these snowflakes, then place them on dowels or small branches to create snowflake trees with very large snowflakes on the bottom and top.
