Snowflakes Cutting

                    


Background
:
    No two snowflakes are alike.  They do take similar forms and have six points.  Children enjoy cutting out paper snowflakes and enjoy the surprise they get when they unfold their creation.


Objective:  Family and young student will have fun cutting out snowflakes.


Materials Needed:  Lightweight paper of choice, scissors


Process
:
   Young student folds a piece of paper three times, more or less, and then makes cuts, some straight, some curved.  There is, of course, no wrong way.  Unfold.  Count the points.  Are there six?  Less?  More?  Continue experimenting to see how many different “snowflakes” he can make.


Skills/Learning Styles/Intelligences
: Fine Motor, Science, Counting.


Extended Learning
:  

  1. The next time it snows, catch some real snowflakes on a piece of black construction paper.  Use a magnifying glass to have a look at the flake.  Snowflakes may also be caught on the sleeve or the windshield of a car.

  2. Learn a snowflake finger play that uses counting, such as

Five Little Snowflakes

Five little snowflakes
Dancing here and there.
Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!
Four little snowflakes
Dancing here and there.
Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!
Continue to zero.
Zero little snowflakes
Not one to be found.
Cause five little snowflakes have fallen to the ground!

   Los jovenes estudiantes doblan el papel en tres partes,mas o menos, entonces hacen cortes, algunos derechos,  otros curvos.  Asi es, seguro, no hay forma equivacada.  Desdoblelo.  Cuente las puntas. Son seis? Menos? Mas?  Continue experimentando para ver cuantas formas diferentes de “Copos de nieve” pueden hacer.
