Magic of Snow

Ever consider the wondrous and miraculous world of snow and snowflakes? Every snowflake is unique. By some miracle they crystallize into forms that are NEVER the same twice. This miracle lends its magic to the mystical sparkling of the snow through the crystalline reflections. They are magic, magic you can share with your children, too.

Here are some ideas of things to do with kids and the magic of the snowflake.

Teach them about the first man to photograph the snowflake: Wilson Bentley. (http://snowflakebentley.com) This man managed to photograph the snowflake in the early 1920's. Draw snowflakes or use white chalk on dark blue construction paper. Do snowflake cut outs too!



Other fun things to do include these fun stocking stuffers:
- little snowman kit
- little Christmas tree kit

Enjoy the beauty of our snow. Step out in the evening and see the glittering magic of the snowflakes upon the ground.
