Snowflake Built from Eight Straight Line Spokes

A simple snowflake built entirely from thick, rounded straight lines sits in the middle of the page. A tall vertical line and a horizontal line cross at the center, with two diagonal lines crossing them to make eight spokes. The top and bottom spokes each end in a small V shape, like an arrow tip or a sprig. On the left and right sides, the diagonals fold into nested chevron shapes, so you get little diamond and triangle sections stacked inside one another. Those enclosed sections are great for practicing careful coloring. Try filling each nested layer with a different shade of blue, then leave the V tips white or silver for a frosty look. The wide lines and open spaces make it a good fit for kids who are building control with markers or crayons. It is a free printable that works well for a winter classroom or a rainy afternoon at home.
