Winter Snowflakes

Cynthia (Nanny): Today we read one of our favorite books, Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell. If you've never read it, you must. It touches on so many great lessons and topics like self worth, self confidence, bullying, family, and starting in a new school to name a few. 

After we read the book we made paper snowflakes like the main characters does in the book. I introduced the concept of being unique and special, just like snowflakes. 

A friend of mine named Beth reminded me about making paper snowflakes this season so thank you Beth! :) 

I needed a refresher on folding the paper but found a good one here: http://www.marthastewart.com/276331/how-to-make-paper-snowflakes/@center/1009041/christmas-crafts-projects

Afterwards, we used glitter to decorate them and hung the snowflakes on the kitchen windows
