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 :)

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
