Tear off a piece of waxed paper for your child and gather glue, glitter and cotton swabs for her to use. Let your child squirt a large dab of glue in the middle of the waxed paper, then place the swabs in the shape of a snowflake; each swab must touch the middle puddle of glue. Have her apply a little more glue in the center and spread it along the swabs. She can sprinkle her creation with glitter, let the project dry completely, then peel the snowflake off the waxed paper.
Using three white paper plates and glue, connect the plates to make a snowman. Let your son use crayons, glue, pom-pons, yarns and construction paper to decorate his snowman as he likes. You might need to offer assistance with cutting.
Your child will need a large piece of black or dark blue construction paper, white school glue and a sponge brush for this project. Let her "paint" with the glue and make a snowy winter scene and sprinkle it with glitter. The white school glue will provide a snowy effect, even when dry.
Fold a piece of white paper in half, then half again. Cut the edge to create a square instead of a rectangle. Starting from the center of the paper -- the most-folded corner -- cut random designs out of the paper; make sure to cut through all layers. When you're done, unfold the paper to show your child this unique snowflake. Older children who have mastered the use of scissors can create their own snowflakes. Tape paper snowflakes to windows.
Use white or glittery pipe cleaners. Cut the pipe cleaners in half with a wire cutter, then let your child bend and connect them to make his own snowflake designs. Use a longer piece to wrap and twist around the middle to keep them all in place.
