free printables and more snowflakes

I have a new set of printables — these are mini holiday cards and gift tags from my auggie project — find them here. I think these are good for class holiday cards (for a preschool or daycare class).

And, from goodideasforyou.com via pinterest — turn those snowflakes into ballerinas!

snowflakes for chinook

5-point paper stars are easy and you can let even young children cut shapes out of the sides. It's impossible to cut the shapes incorrectly — it will always look good as far as I can tell. Some of ours went terribly wrong and we thought they looked like masks (I didn't photograph them). If you use brightly coloured origami paper it will also add a little colour into early December. There is a really good tutorial diagrammed at howaboutorange. I quickly photographed the sequence here. This is a purple one, for Chinook.

materials: square paper, scissors

lay paper coloured side down, turn so it is a diamond and fold the bottom point to the top to make a triangle (pictured)
