Paper Snowflakes

We got our first "snow" in the south today! We're so excited - and it's barely a dusting still with green patches of grass poking through! Not enough to do any fun stuff outside, so we made our own flurry of paper snowflakes indoors.

What winter would be complete without kids snipping paper & coffee filters into lace creations? I was irresitably drawn in....and got a bit carried away, hee hee!


And then I had an "ah-ha!" moment: why not make snowflakes from clear contact paper - instant frosted fun on the windows! Peeling the paper backing off was a bit tricky.
My 4 yr old eagerly took up paper and scissors - and made a paper chainsaw. Huh???
