This snowflake craft for kids is not only fun and simple to do, but is inexpensive and create a beautiful finished product ready for hanging!

  • Glue gun
  • Low temp glue sticks
  • Buttons of all different colors and sizes

Directions:

  • Glue three craft sticks together to make the snowflake shape, one on top of the other.
  • If you wish you can decorate the sticks with paint or markers (optional).
  • Arrange the buttons on the snowflake so you get an idea of where you want them to go.
  • Once you have decided, glue them on the snowflake. Use as little or as many as you wish! Remember, each snowflake is unique!

This window snowflake crafts for kids is so easy to make, that children may want to make several. And because they are so inexpensive to whip up, that shouldn’t be a problem!

Want to extend this window snowflake craft for kids activity further?
Why not create a compare and contrast chart? You can list what the different snowflakes you made have in common, and what about them is different. For example do several of the snowflakes have blue buttons? Or does one have yellow buttons and one does not? Chart these differences and look for how they are alike and different.

Once your snowflake window crafts are done, you can also dive into a great book and learn more about snowflakes! The Little Book of Snowflakes by Kenneth Libbrecht is a wonderful choice to extend this lesson and deepen your understanding about these little icy creations.

So pour some warm cocoa, gather the kiddos around the table, and start crafting! This kid friendly snowflake craft is sure to be a hit!

    This looks like the perfect craft for my toddler and I to do. We’d have to be careful she doesn’t touch the glue though. Thanks for the awesome idea!
