Learn how to help your kids take their paper snowflake designs to the next level with these simple and easy paper snowflake craft ideas.

Cutting snowflakes is one of my favorite winter fine motor activities.  In a previous post, I showed you that using cutting templates to make paper snowflakes can increase the success of your young children.

No More Snowflake Frustration!!

Now, I want to show you some ideas to take those beautiful paper snowflakes to the next level.

Snowflake Craft Ideas

Your kids will need to begin by cutting paper snowflakes.  Be sure to see my tips for teaching kids how to cut a snowflake.  Young kids have so much fun when you use simple snowflake templates.

In addition to your snowflake cutting center, you can set up a snowflake decorating station.  Your kids can really get creative.

Here are some supplies that you can include.

• hole punch
• glitter glue
• crayons
• markers
• gems
• sequins
• stickers
• glue

Snowflake Decorating Ideas

Hole Punch:

After cutting, but before opening a snowflake, kids can use a hole punch to add holes to their snowflake design.

I don’t know what it is about hole punches, but young kids seem to LOVE them.  There is a big bonus to hole punches….they are great fine motor tools!

Crayons, Markers, Colored Pencils:

Kids can add color and designs to snowflakes with crayons, markers, or colored pencils

Sequins and Gems:

They can add a variety of sequins and gems with a little bit of glue.

Glitter Glue:

Glitter glue will add a little bit of wintry shimmer to the snowflakes.  Helpful Hint – Sometimes glitter glue can be difficult to squeeze out of the little bottles.  Cut the tip off so that the opening is slightly larger to help them out.

If you are really brave, you can also use regular glitter.  My son and I made these at home, and I wasn’t brave enough to get out the glitter 😊 #glitterallover

I’m sure that you can think of additional paper snowflake craft ideas.  I would LOVE to hear them so that I can add them here.
