coffee filter snowflakes




my daughter came home from kindergarten with one of these cute snowflakes so i thought we would make some more. it's SUPER cheap (you can buy 50-100 for around $2 or even less. maybe check the dollar store?) and all you need are the filters, scissors, string/thread for hanging, tape and your imagination. pure awesome.

all you have to do is fold one filter in half, and then in half again (so in fourths) and cut, cut, cut! the girls had a good time snipping away with their safety scissors and i found that it became a little bit addicting. make one, then make another to see how i could make it different. it was fun and a good indoor activity with it being so cold outside. (i super-duper do NOT like winter.)

we were going to tape them to the window in the front room but frankly, our windows are crap and a ton of moisture builds on the inside so we opted to tape them up using scotch tape (or the like).
