My 5yr. old daughter and I did many of these and hung them on the ceiling all around the house with clear string and clear thumb tacks. She started singing “let it snow-let it snow-let it snow”. It was fun!

Thanks for the great idea-it was perfect for our snow day last week. I didn’t have watercolors so we used washable markers and then sprayed the snowflakes with a spray bottle filled with water. I showed our snowflakes here http://7alltogether.blogspot.com/2009/02/peeking-out.html

Love your website-thanks for all the great crafts.

I just had an idea—

Instead of the paints, put water in disposable or reusable cups and put in drops of food color, offering the various shades of color, from light, to medium, to dark.
And for a little more stability in keeping the cups upright, place up to twelve in a cupcake pan or carrier. I’ve used this method for other crafts I’ve done.
I’ve just discovered Make and Takes about 15 minutes ago, and I’m already excited about it—I love this site!!

I just happened to click on the link for Watercolor Snowflakes, it looked very cute and I’m trying to get a good selection of craft ideasthat my 3 1/2 year-old grandson can do together that is different from the “usual” ho-hum things, and this idea was a super one. I’m very glad I clicked on the link.
I also read some of the comments left by some of the other readers, and got some got ideas for adjustments on the “brushing” the colors on the filters! And what a perfect time to do this very project!
Thanks, I’ll be checking for more projects from this site! :_)
