Snowflakes are like little masterpieces! Let’s celebrate the beauty of winter by making snowflake art.
Snowflake art for kids…
One of my favorite seasonal art themes is the snowflake. I love that each snowflake is unique. I think it gives kids a bit of creative license when they’re cutting or painting snowflakes. There is no right or wrong product- just the fun of imagining and making.
Color paper snowflake art….
Choose from two super easy methods of drawing your own snowflakes. Both start with the same folding technique but use different media to create different effects!
Lacy watercolor snowflake art…
These colorful snowflakes get some of their detail from the doilies they’re made from and their color from watercolor paints.
These are a favorite for young artists because with just a few cuts the snowflakes are already super detailed!
Cut paper snowflake art…
Name inspired cut paper snowflakes…
These snowflakes start with the shapes of your student’s names. These work whether your kiddos write in print or cursive and result in some super unique shapes.
Six sided snowflakes….
Most methods of cutting a snowflake result in 8 sided snowflakes which is scientifically incorrect. Real snowflakes have sis sides. Follow along with this tutorial and I’ll show you how to implement a few simple changes to your folding technique so your snowflakes are just like the real ones!
Use a paper snowflake in a painting…
Use a snowflake cut from wax paper as a resist in a watercolor painting for the really neat impressions left behind. This method is really spontaneous and the results are different every time!
Chalk and glue snowflake art for kids…
Let cut paper snowflakes become a guide for this snowflake drawing outlined in glue and colored with chalk pastels.
Done on black paper this one really pops!
Colorful coffee filter snowflakes….
These colorful coffee filters get their vibrant colors from watercolor paints. I love cutting snowflakes from coffee filters because they’re so thin and easy to cut through multiple layers!
Notan snowflake art…
Notan is the Japanese concept of light and dark. These cut paper snowflakes are inspired by Notan art. This post includes a free printable template to get you started making your own Notan snowflake art.
Snowflake crafts for kids…
While these projects fall more on the side of “crafty” than arty they’re still super fun and adorable.
Folded paper snowflake ornament…
Make tiny intricate paper snowflakes by learning just a few basic folds. These look so pretty hanging in a window or as an ornament on a tree.
Beaded snowflakes…
I know you have some plastic pony beads stashed somewhere! Heat up your oven and create a sparkly three dimensional snowflake craft!
Printable snowflake headbands…
These printable snowflake headbands from The Happy Printable are free to print and ready for your kiddos to color and wear!
