We love crafting with straws, especially paper straws.
The different colors and patterns are simply irresistible.
Another reason we love them so much is because they make such great scissor cutting practice for my preschooler!
This week our Creative Preschoolers theme is scissor cutting practice so we madePaper Straw Snowflakes.
If you have Frozen fanatics at your house, they are sure to love making these!

This is also great hand eye coordination practice for kids eyeballing the middle of each piece.
Youll see how this little piece is helpful in the next couple steps.
Cut out two circles
Use your 2-inch circle cutter to cut out two circles from your blue cardstock paper.
Add tacky glue all over one of your circles.
Place that little piece that you cut out in Step 2 right in the middle of the circle.
This is going to help your preschooler correctly place all the straws around the circle.
Finish by adding the remaining straws in between each straw section.
Glue snowflake sticker
Place your felt snowflake sticker on top of your other 2-inch circle.
Let your snowflake dry completely.
(Adult supervision with glue gun required.)
These paper straw snowflakes are so simple to make and were so addicting.
We made 6 of them in no time at all.
The added scissor cutting practice makes this such a perfect preschool craft!
