Snowflake Creations

We took the popular building-with-marshmallows-and-toothpicks activity to another level...

First we build snowflake shapes and ate a few marshmallows...

I think more marshmallows went in his mouth than onto his snowflakes...

We let them dry for a couple days. Then, we painted our toothpicks white...

It was such a lovely, quiet morning activity.

And added glue and sparkles to our marshmallows!

I love this action shot. Great way to re-purpose styrofoam trays, btw.

Now we have some of the beautiful snowflakes of winter hanging in our dining room!

Everett's original snowflake... wish you could see the sparkles!

That one in the left corner is Everett's *Building Snowflake*
