Snowflake with Nested Stripe Lines Down Every Arm

A bold snowflake fills the page with six matching arms that meet at a single center point. Each arm is built from several thin outlines nested inside one another, so the lines run in parallel stripes down the length of the arm. Between the arms sit large open diamond and kite shapes, which are the biggest spaces to color. Small rounded prongs stick out near the tips, and a few short stubs poke out from the sides. The thick outer outline keeps everything easy to follow. Try coloring each nested stripe in a different shade of blue, then leave the big diamond shapes white or fill them with silver or light purple. It also works well for a symmetry lesson, since kids can color opposite arms in matching colors and check that the pattern mirrors itself. This printable page suits fine-tip markers or colored pencils.
