Pattern Block Snowflakes

Cut out pattern block shapes from
white construction paper.  Have the
children first design a snowflake using
real pattern blocks.  It is important to
start with the red hexagon shape in the
middle and then to build on out from
the middle.  The children then transfer
the design to a large blue construction
paper circle using the white paper
pattern blocks.

Print  "Hello Winter" Nice emergent winter
