Christmas Craft of the Day

A Blast from the Past: Paper Snowflakes

Use plain white paper and cut out snowflakes to hang in windows like you did when you were a kid!

Embellish with glitter and glue or use aluminum foil!

If your child is too young to cut the snowflakes, just have him help with the glitter and glue.

Hang the snowflakes from the ceiling with thread to make your home a winter wonderland.
