Stick Snowflakes

It was wonderful to see so many families back for the first day of
StrongStart. 
Two weeks is a long time of no programs to attend.

The art table was busy with children and grown ups designing
snowflakes
using popsicle sticks.

First step was to decide what shape your snowflake would be. 
Most went with a simple laying the sticks across each other in
an 'X' style.

But as the morning progressed I started to see other designs come to life
as the families noticed that there were little popsicle sticks too.

Second step was to decorate the snowflake.

Adding buttons was a last minute decision on my part. 
Watching the children search through them reminded me how much the simple
things that you find around the house are just as attractive as glittery
purchased items.
