Let It Snow
Snow was supposedly in the weather forecast for today. Nary a flake came. A storm is predicted for tomorrow. And Wednesday. And Thursday. If the storms for the next three days are as snow prolific as they were today, the snowplow drivers might have to take up knitting.
You don’t have to depend on the weather to get snow — or at least snowflakes. You can make your own by cutting out paper ones!
Here are my directions for cutting lacy snowflakes. Folding the paper the way I show you is the secret to making six-sided snowflakes. (You don’t want to cut snowflakes like the ones you did in the second grade now do you?) And remember: the more paper you cut away, the lacier your snowflake will be.
Before you invite your grandchildren over to cut snowflakes, you might want to head down to your local copy center to buy some colored paper. Fuschia, lime green, or daffodil yellow snowflakes would be a hoot to cut! Who says they have to be all white?
So, cut up a storm with your grandchildren! But watch out. I bet you can’t cut just one — it’s rather addictive. Make sure you have lots of paper.
Happy cutting!
