kid crafts: Washi Tape Snowflakes

Tuesday, February 18, 2014 7 Comments

Washi Tape Snowflakes | @mamamissblog #snowflakes #washitape #easykidcraft #wintercraft

Well, as you know by now, I just may be a little obsessed with washi tape ;)  No, not me – she exclaims!

This kiddo project was so fun, ummm anything involving tape in our house is super fun!  Side note:  while I was working yesterday the two little monkeys V&T were given some scotch tape to make “cards” for Valentines Day.  OY – tape with free reign, can you imagine their glee!  That tape was everywhere lol – little T’s hair, the tv, the chairs, my socks – oh it was a decorating frenzy up in here!  And auntie Angel, your package to be mailed out, may or may not, look like it got into a battle with a tape dispenser, and the package sadly lost that battle – just sayin’ ;)

And due to the insane amount of snow we have received this winter, I decided to incorporate that snow it into some learning fun, because why not, that’s a perk of homeschooling – some days we just let our environment dictate the learning.  So, we had our weekly co-op reading/crafting day & had our friends over for some snowflake making fun :)





We read…

  • The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
  • I Am Snow by Jean Marzollo
  • Snip…Snip…Snow! by Nancy Poydar

And we made these pipe cleaner and bead snowflakes along with these Washi Tape Snowflakes to go along with our reading.

So for these really easy Washi Tape Snowflakes all you need is…

  • colorful washi tape (the more patterns the better)
  • twine (if you want to hang them)
  • paper
  • scissors
  • optional: ruler

See, you probably already have all these things at home – wahoo – that’s my kind of kiddo project – easy, peasy!!

So here’s some steps to make these Washi Tape Snowflakes happen…

  1. Start off with a perfectly square 4”x 4” piece of paper – here’s where the ruler comes in.  I just cut up some copy paper (one 8.5×11 sheet made 4),  but if you happen to have origami paper on hand it is already perfectly square so it would work perfectly too.
  2. Have the kiddos tape up the square completely – COMPLETELY – no white left – cover that square up! :)
  3. Once they’ve done the taping, fold it into a smaller triangle (as you would a snowflake), and cut it up to create a snowflake.  This was a step I did, but if you have an older child that’s comfortable cutting through the very thick layers of tape & paper without removing an appendage, then by golly have them do the work ;)  If you are unsure how to make a snowflake, here’s a simple snowflake tutorial from Frugal Fun For Boys (scroll down for “how to fold four sided snowflakes”) to refresh those memory seeds.
  4. Open it up – bask in the ooohs & aaahs!
  5. Add some twine if you are hanging it, & voila – pretty little washi tape snowflakes!  And just like a snowflake – no two are alike :)

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
