Coffee Filter Snowflakes with 1st grade

The week before winter break, the first graders made colorful coffee filter snowflakes.

easy snowflakes for kids

1.  Color the coffee filters with washable markers.

2.  Spray with a water bottle and watch the colors magically spread like tie-dye.  Allow to dry overnight.

3.  The next day, fold the circle into half and then half again and half again.  Cut out little shapes and pieces of the coffee filter.

4.  Glue the snowflake on to a colored piece of construction paper.  Glue on confetti, apply glitter glue or add white paint with Q-tips.
