Servings: 0
Ingredients
- cardboard box
- small screw driver
- q-tips
- dot markers
- Glitter. (optional)
- White paint
- Paint brush
Instructions
- First grab a cardboard box. This activity is best done using a small shoe-sized cardboard box. To create the snowflake you can either colour it in yourself or get your little one involved. I used paint but you can also use paint sticks. For the snowflake I painted a simple snowflake shape. This is a great opportunity to talk about symmetry!
- Use a small screwdriver or bamboo stick to poke holes all over your snowflake.
- Grab your q-tips and dot markers. Use the dot markers to colour the tips of the q-tips in blue. I find that this is the easiest and simplest way to colour q-tips. Another easy way is to use food colouring but the only issue I have with food colouring is that it takes awhile to dry.
- The final touch will be to add glitter. This is optional and I would let your little one do this step!
- Cut the q-tips in half and place them in bowl. You are almost ready!
- Invite your child to post the q-tips into the holes. So simple and so engaging for a toddler!
