This festive icicle takes shape in just minutes, and it strengthens small muscles in your preschooler's hand too! If you make six you can tape them together to make a gorgeous snowflake!
1. Start with a square:
2. Fold it to make a triangle:
3. Draw "cutting lines" on it like this and let your child cut them: (Make sure the cuts do NOT meet in the middle!)
4. Open up the square!
5. Fold the middle two flaps together and tape them:
6. Flip the square over and repeat step five with the next two flaps:
7. Flip the square over again and repeat step five with the next two flaps:
8. Flip the square over again (this is the last time!) and repeat step five with the outer two flaps:
9. Ta Da! All done! You can tie a string on and hang your icicle, or make five more and tape them together to make a snowflake!

Even my older boys will like this! Thanks for the step-by-step for this crafty-capped mama!
Oh that's pretty. I might just be able to squeeze doing that tomorrow. My daughter loves cutting things out.
