I found the free templates for the snowflakes on the internet at Marcel's Kid Crafts. These templates are not just your ordinary snowflakes: within the designs of the various snowflakes are snowmen, trees, bells, and other wintery things! The detail is extraordinary! I hope you are able to see the snowmen in this picture:

Once I learned how to fold the paper for the snowflakes, I folded some paper for the children and let them cut out their own designs for larger snowflakes. We put sparkles on these snowflakes as well and hung them on our fireplace mantle. They shine and glisten in the light!

These are so cute! Quite a long way from the ones I fold myself and "try" to cut out!
Thanks for the tips! Looks like something cool to do with my kids during the current rain. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
