Last Saturday we had a very, very little flurry of a snowstorm. My children ran around and stuck out their tongues ("It looks like sleet but tastes like snow, Mom!"). How desperate we get to even glimpse snow here in the South sometimes! Anyway, my children did just like Julie's and made a lot of fun out of very little falling from the sky (and even less sticking to the ground). So this past week we "made" our own snow. Of course the classic cut snowflakes (this year I gave no dire
ctions but just let them experiment on their own) and then we made it "snow" on our painting with an old toothbrush dipped in white paint (sorry the small flakes don't show up on the photo).Last but not least was a good project to learn to use the glue bottle delicately - a leftover fr
om last year's ArtPac2 - a snowflake on blue paper that you cover in glitter only on the lines. All in all not as much fun as a good whomping 2 feet of the real white stuff but pretty fun for indoors!

Looks like fun! We haven't done anything crafty in a while... J would enjoy making snowflakes I think. Thanks for the inspiration!

I sure wish I had some youngers at home to do this with... Have you ever tried to convince a 16yo male child what fun it might be to put down the basketball and cut out snowflakes?????????
