Snowflake with Six Hexagons Around a Small Open Star

A single snowflake sits in the middle of the page, drawn with thick, even black outlines. A small six-pointed star is open in the center, and six main arms reach out from it. Each arm ends in a little hexagon, so there are six hexagons around the edge, one at the top, one at the bottom, and two on each side. Along every arm are two shorter straight lines that branch off like feathers. The wide lines and big open spaces make it easy for younger kids to color without going outside the lines. Try coloring the center star one shade of blue, then using a second color for all six hexagons so children can spot the matching shapes. It also works well for talking about symmetry, since each side mirrors the other. Print as many copies as you need for a winter classroom activity.
