• White paint (acrylic or tempera)
• Small paintbrush or cotton swabs

Instructions:

1. Dip your paintbrush or cotton swab into the white paint.
2. Gently press the paintbrush onto the paper to create a dot – the center of your snowflake.
3. Add 6 radiating lines outward from the center dot.
4. Add smaller lines or dots branching off from the main lines to create the snowflake’s unique design.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to create more snowflakes of different sizes and shapes.

Tips and Tricks:
