Snowflake Church Windows
There are some worse ways to spend a day than with snowflake Church Windows. Have you ever noticed how children like playing with scissors and eating dessert. Who would have thought of that combination?
Today was one of those days when the children got to have some extra fun. First we broke out the scissors and made snowflakes. What better way to pair scissor skills with the uniqueness of a paper snowflake. 
Imagine the fun they had today. Their eyes lit up and they delighted in making all the cuts and then opening to reveal the design.
It was interesting to see them creating the snowflakes after having the Church Windows. Who would not enjoy the delectable taste of chocolate, marshmallows, and peanut butter.
