Sometimes simple is best. Yesterday while browsing Instructables.com, I came across these lovely paper snowflakes by ReadsInTrees. Since I've never made the super ornate six-sided snowflakes before, I decided to grab my scissors, some scrap paper and try them out. An hour later I had a stack of delicate paper snowflakes sitting on my desk and a big smile on my face. Who knew that the simple act of making snowflakes could warm the soul? If it worked for me, it could work for your teens. Enlist your teens to make some snowflakes for your teen area, and watch the frowns melt off their face. Magic!Snowflake tutorials and info:

Hello,
ReplyDeleteDid you mean persuing? and not perusing? Just a little typo...sorry if this upsets you that I'm correcting your spelling but I have OCD and if this was my blog I would like it if someone who caught a error would tell me.
