These are homemade snowflakes using wide mouth jars and white pipe cleaners. Shape the pipe cleaners like a snowflake. (cut to size) Tie a string to a pencil to the hold the snowfake from touching the bottom of the jar. Boil Water and add Borax. (Check back for amounts) Leave sit for 24 hours and watch the crystals form.

We did these rockets for the Letter R. The kids had fun learning about them and making their own.
A fun little lion made out of a hnadprint. The nose,eyes, and ears are the tips of the finger and the mane is the whole finger.
