Octagon Hub Snowflake with Eight Straight Arms

A bold snowflake sits in the middle of the page with an eight-sided shape at its center. Eight straight arms stretch out from the corners of that shape: one each pointing up, down, left and right, plus four on the diagonals. The up, down, left and right arms each have two sets of little V-shaped branches along the stem. The diagonal arms have shorter angled branches near the center. All the lines are thick with rounded ends, so the spaces are easy for small hands to color. Try filling the empty center with a pale blue and coloring each arm a different cool shade, such as purple, teal and silver. It is also a nice printable for talking about symmetry, because kids can count the arms and check which ones match.
