Snowflake Around a Small Empty Square, Eight Arms

A bold snowflake sits in the middle of the page, built around a small empty square. Eight arms reach out from it, one from each side and one from each corner. The arms on the top, bottom, left, and right each end in a rounded tip and have two short slanted branches near the square that look like an arrowhead. The diagonal arms at the corners are plain straight bars with rounded ends. Everything is drawn with clean, thick outlines, so the spaces are easy to fill for small hands. Try coloring the center square in a pale blue and giving the four arrow-style arms one shade and the four diagonal arms another, which makes a nice way to talk about symmetry and pairs. This printable page also works well as a quick winter activity for a classroom or a rainy afternoon at home.
