Snowflake of Six Kite Shapes Around a Hexagon

A single snowflake fills the page, drawn with thick, even black lines. At the center sits a small hexagon. Around it are six tapered, kite-like shapes, with one pointing to the left and one to the right and two more on the top and two on the bottom. Beyond those, each of the six arms ends in a pair of long straight lines that form a narrow V, like a feathery tip. The big open spaces make it easy for small hands to stay inside the lines. Try coloring the center hexagon a deep blue, then alternating two icy shades in the six inner shapes so kids can spot the repeating pattern. It also works well for a quick lesson on symmetry and counting sixes. Print a few copies and let everyone make a different snowflake.
