This is a great project for Kindergarten. I prepped the paper ahead of time by tracing 9 circles on each page. As a class, we talked about how snowflakes are unique and about symmetry. I took some extra time to demonstrate how to paint with watercolors, keep a clean brush, etc. The students started by drawing their designs with white crayon, and then had a blast revealing their designs with paint. They also had fun watching the colors mix. Finally, I put a small bowl of kosher salt on each table for students to add to their wet paintings for great snow texture.
