In January we always make pattern block snowflakes. It is a good time to talk about patterns and also symmetry. Have the children cut out pattern block shapes from white paper. The children may first design a snowflake using real pattern blocks. It is important to start with the hexagon shape in the middle and then to build on out from the middle. The children then transfer the design to a large blue construction paper circle or blue strips and glue on the white paper pattern blocks.
