Creating crafts with kids doesn’t always have to be complicated. My art students made these fun snowflake prints in only 45 minutes while studying Mary Azarian, and I am absolutely in love with them. Hooray for simplicity!
In case you haven’t yet read the book (one of my all-time favorite biographies, ever), this is the source of inspiration for this craft: Snowflake Bentley
Additional biographical information about Mary Azarian, craft inspiration, and online resources will be available soon. Subscribe now so you don’t miss out on the fun!
Okay now for the fun! To complete this project you will need the following supplies:
- 12×18″ construction paper, white – cut down to 12×15″
- several sheets of 8 1/2 x 11″ scrap paper
- 9×12″ Printing foam (can substitute a foam tray or plate cut flat)
- safety gloves child size (optional – to keep hands clean when handling ink)
- Masking tape
- Brayer
- everyday pencil any quality. You may also want a pencil sharpener if your child tends to press very hard.
- flat paint tray or paper plate to hold ink

Thank you so much for posting these. Our prints turned out beautifully ( even using foam sheets from the Dollar Tree!)
