Winter flurries, windy days, hats, scarves and gloves, all mean old man winter and the holidays are here! So lets celebrate these upcoming winter months with fun indoor activities. You can find crafts and baking recipes in books or on websites that can be made with materials found laying around the house.
One simple craft you can make together with friends or family is: Salt Crystal Snowflake.
Material needed:
*Hot Water
*A cup or mug
*Salt
*Thick black paper
*Paintbrush
Boil water and pour it into a mug. Add a couple of teaspoons of salt and stir with the paintbrush until it dissolves. Keep adding a teaspoon of salt until you start to notice it no longer disolves and the salt crystals are on the bottom of your mug.
Paint your snowflake.
(Tip: Each time you dip your paintbrush in the salt water be sure to stir that way your salt crystals don't sink to the bottom of the cup.)
Leave your artwork to dry overnight.
If you would like to follow a snowflake template or these instructions you can check out http://www.dltk-holidays.com/.
After having fun making the Salt Crystal Snowflake craft why not ask an adult to help you make a: Snowy Cupcake Cabin.
