A Winter Snowflake Study For Your Homeschool with Snowflake Bentley
Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated., When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind.
— Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley
Why not make paper snowflakes, catch snowflakes on black construction paper and then learn about Snowflake Bentley with Nana’s NEW lesson? Find it in the Winter section of the You ARE an ARTiST Clubhouse. Find ALL the wonderful learning ideas from Julie and her artists in their A Winter Snowflake Study for Your Homeschool.
