Snowflakes at Sr. OSC

Hello Senior OSC Families and Friends,
With the holidays approaching, here at OSC we have started to get into the holiday spirit this past week. As you may have noticed, we have begun putting up some winter decorations and turning our room into a winter wonderland! Last week the kids helped in the making of snowflakes that were then placed around the room. The kids enjoyed cutting up the paper, making snowflakes that were all different shapes and sizes. They really tapped into their creative sides. When it came to putting up the snowflakes, we attached them to pieces of wire so that they could stick into the ceiling. The decorations really helped to get everyone excited for the holidays. It also prompted conversation among the kids regarding all the fun things to do during the holidays and all the great things about the season. I encourage you all to take a look at the lovely snowflakes that are scattered around the room. In case you would like to get into the holiday spirit and need a fun thing to do to help you, I have attached some instructions on how you can make some snowflakes at home.
Things you will need
- paper that is cut into a square
- scissors
- tape
- string or wire
Directions
Step 1.
Once your paper is cut in the shape of a square, fold it in half diagonally.
Step 2.
Now that your paper is in the shape of a triangle, fold it in half again.
Fold one third of the triangle to the front and the other third to the back so that it makes a skinny triangle with two little triangles sticking out at the bottom like feet.
Step 4.
Now trim the points off the bottom to create an actual triangle again with nothing sticking out of the bottom.
Step 5.
Cut into both sides of the triangle. You can experiment by making different shapes and sizes and numbers of cuts, but be sure not to cut all the way across the triangle.
Step 6.
You can now unfold your snowflake. You can tape one end of the snowflake to a piece of string or poke a hole in the snowflake using a piece of wire. You can then attach it to the ceiling or a window or anywhere in your house that you wish.
Hopefully these snowflakes help you get into the holiday spirit!
