There’s something magical about snowflakes, and this fork-painted snowflake craft is the perfect way to bring that magic indoors!
Not only is this activity easy and fun, but it also creates beautiful, sparkly snowflakes to display in your home. Kids will love using an unexpected tool – a plastic fork – to make unique snowflake designs, and the glitter adds just the right amount of winter shimmer.
What You’ll Need for This Activity
Gather your supplies before starting. You’ll need just these simple craft supplies: a paper plate, white craft paint, a plastic fork, blue construction paper, and some white, clear, or iridescent glitter.
If you want to mix it up, you could also try using blue paint or silver paint to add variety, or include blue and silver glitters.
How to Make Fork Painted Snowflakes
Start by pouring a small amount of white paint onto a paper plate. Dip your plastic fork into the paint, making sure the tines are well covered. Gently press the fork down onto the blue construction paper, with the points facing outward.
Repeat this process around in a circle until you’ve completed your snowflake design—usually about 10 fork prints.
While the paint is still wet, sprinkle glitter generously onto your snowflake to give it that frosty sparkle.
Shake off the excess glitter, and voila! Your snowflake is ready to shine. If you want to create a blizzard of snowflakes, just repeat the process. Once you’re happy with your creations, set them aside to dry and find a special spot to display them.
This craft is simple enough for toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy, but older kids will love it too. Plus, it’s a great way to explore shapes and patterns while embracing the beauty of winter.
