Celebrate winter with these stunning snowflake crafts for kids! Each one is more beautiful than the next, and there’s something for all ages!

It’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet, and some people were lucky enough to witness a white Christmas. I admit, I wasn’t among them, living in India, but how I wish I was!

There’s something magical about snow, and especially snowflakes. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re so perfectly symmetrical, or maybe that they’re so unique – it is said that no two snowflakes are alike. Or it simply may be the fact that they’re so delicate – it makes them all the more special.

Snowflakes have intrigued and inspired people for centuries, and people have done loads of research on them. Check out the work of Wilson Alwyn Bentley – he photographed thousands of snowflakes under the microscope and the result is gorgeous!

On that note, we’ve got something just as stunning for you today – snowflake crafts! Here is a collection of the most beautiful snowflake crafts that kids can make with simple materials and little effort. There’s something suitable for every age group here, so get ready to create some prettiness!
