Snowflake Picture
Maria Shows You How to Use Paper Snowflake Cut-outs to Create Nice Winter Pictures to Decorate Your Home.
Supply List:
- Snowflake cut-out
- Black card paper
- White paint
- Small sponge
Directions for Caregivers:
Make as described in the video. The finished snowflakes would look nice displayed in the window or a wall.
You can either make individual pictures or a larger combined display of your snowflakes.
Early-stage memory care/dementia.
Supply the materials needed and explain the activity. It is always good to show a sample of the finished project so that the participants know what they are aiming for.
Middle stage memory care/dementia.
Supply materials needed and explain the activity. Give guidance as needed.
Late-stage memory care/dementia.
If the person can hold the sponge, you can assist them, maybe using hand-over-hand if they don’t mind. They might otherwise like to take part as a passive observer of the activity.

Maria, that is a lovely idea!
The beauty of this type of art work is that you can do many patterns on the snowflake. My students seem to enjoy making the patterns on the piece of paper. I love the printing idea. It’s so simple yet so beautiful! I can see applying a range of different colours on it, even glitter. I like the way you do the writing! How do you do that so perfectly? 🙂

Thanks Anna, I used a calligraphy marker, held flat to the surface of the paper and at a 45 degree angle. It just takes a little practice!
