I picked up this book a couple of years ago and forgot all about it. It's called Snowflakes for All Seasons by Cindy Higham. I think older kids would really dig this book. The list price on it is just $9.95.

It has 72 "easy-to-make" snowflake patterns for all holidays and seasons. The "easy-to-make" part is debatable. Some of them are pretty intricate that they're hard to cut just right. But, they are pretty cool designs. I pulled out the book today and cut out the 4th of July snowflakes they had patterns for. My son is really into cutting these days so I gave him the junk mail to cut up while I cut these out. While we are sometimes creative, we are also sometimes messy. Here's our mess:


Here's a red star snowflake.

Here's a blue Statue of Liberty snowflake.

Here's a white Liberty Bell & Firecracker snowflake.

Here they are hung in our window.

I only cut out four snowflakes today. If I were having a party or actually being social this weekend I may have cut more but these four work for us.
Stay tuned for more snowflakes as the seasons and holidays change.
