Show your child
how to draw snowflakes on paper, and then help cut them out. And let them be a little clumsy and not quite like real ones, but these Christmas decorations were made with their own hands, and the child put his whole soul into them. Let him first understand how to draw a simple snowflake, and later move on to more complex and delicate options. So let's get started.
How to draw a beautiful snowflake?
Let's start with the most basic. Mark with a dot the supposed center of the snowflake. All its sides will intersect here. Draw three equal, even stripes through the center so that the dot is in the middle of each of them and divides the lines into two equal parts. Total got six rays.
Slightly stepping away from the edge, draw a “tick” down to each of them. Then, on each ray, draw another “tick”, but much smaller and lower in line, closer to the center. Done! Isn't it true that drawing a snowflake of this kind turned out to be easier than steamed turnip? We are sure that any child will cope with this task with a bang the first time.
Another snowflake
You can proceed to the next stage in complexity. To draw snowflake number two, you need to do the same initial steps as with the first: outline the middle and depict six rays. On the edges of each ray, draw v-shaped “checkmarks” again.
Around the center point, draw a circle covering the base of all the rays. Wipe what is inside the circle with an eraser - you get such a "sun." From it, put short dashes between the rays. And at the very top of each ray, draw one more tiny “tick”. Voila - a wonderful snowflake has come out!
Another beauty
And finally, the third degree of difficulty. To draw a snowflake at number three, you will need to spend a little more time - it is the most elegant and patterned of all.
The base is the same as in the previous versions: points and six rays. Next, mark the point in bold - it should look like a small circle. Around this shaded circle, make another circle, a little higher. Almost immediately above it, on each ray, draw the already known “checkmarks”. And further on the principle of a nesting doll - a smaller “tick” above a large “tick”, and the smallest one above it, towards the end of the beam.
Total on each ray should get three "ticks" small is small less. Now the rays have become like Christmas trees. Then on each “tick”, which is located in the middle of the beam, on each side of it draw another tiny “tick”. Then do the same with the lower “checkmarks”, just make these letters “v” a little larger. Now, from the base of the circle, draw six straight stripes so that each of them connects the circle and the intersection of two adjacent letters “v”, extending from the lowest, largest “tick”. Sophisticated curly snowflake is ready!
Some tips
As you can see, drawing a snowflake was not at all difficult. Make more of these drawings. Let the baby take the initiative and propose his own patterns for snowflakes. Of course, then all kinds of snowflakes need to be “painted” later - that is, thicker to point with a blue or blue pencil or felt-tip pen, you can use paint. Let the child do it himself - this way he will better feel his personal participation in such a creative process. Then each snowflake can be cut out in a circle, some of them with tape can be hung on the windows, mirrors, furniture in the children's room, turning it into a fabulous winter house.
In some, you can make holes, insert multi-colored threads and decorate an elegant Christmas tree with them. Well, of course, a couple of snowflakes just need to be presented as a gift to grandparents - even if they have a New Year mood in their home! We wish you a plentiful "snowfall"!
