Coffee Filter Snowflakes with 1st grade

Five colorful coffee filter snowflake art pieces displayed on a white background, with text saying "Coffee Filter Snowflakes". This simple and fun project is ideal for 1st grade classes.

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

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.
