I'm familiar with Roberts snowflake books.
Almost every very year I put up a display from before Thanksgiving to after New Years.
Last year I laminated a bunch of them and passed them around as gifts.
My nieces are even doing some right now!

My experience was very pleasant and what surprised me the most was that it's very simple.
I used to think that making crafts of this type was very complicated and took a long time to do it,
but with the book I only needed paper and scissors, in a matter of minutes I had the desired figure.
I recommend it if you want an entertaining and easy activity to do with your family, you don't need to
know English because the sentences are short and with a translator, you don't have a problem.
The tips in the book also make everything easier. I also recommend it if you want to de-stress yourself
for a while with music and doing the snowflakes, they gave me a good time.
It's a really fun activity.

I bought this as a gift for my nephew and it is a good buy.
The instructions are simple and easy to follow. You start with the first level and before you know
it you want to try all of them. I did not realize how much I loved making these snowflakes as much as my nephew did.
It is our new favourite family activity. It is a great Christmas gift for kids.

Since it's an English book, I was worried about whether it would be possible to do it at first,
but I was able to do it simply by folding the paper according to the illustrations and
If I cut the page as it is, it can only be used once, so I made a copy at a convenience store and cut it off.
If you use the zoom function of a photocopier, I think you can make decorations of various sizes.
I'm using it for winter and Christmas decorations. They were delighted when I gave them the things I had cut to try
them out for the kids!

I bought this book for my 11-year-old. She was able to read through the instructions on her own.
It works great. Be sure to copy the pages though or you'll end up cutting the pages out of
the book and then be left with nothing.

When I was in Kindergarten, my mom bought this book through the Troll School Book Club.
For my son, I bought a different newer book but he wasn't able to do the snowflakes,
so I purchased another Paper Snowflakes Made Easy. It was great to see the book is still available.
The book is almost 30 years old and it still works great- kids love it! Hint: photocopy the pages
and keep the book up high or little hands will eventually cut out the pages and you won’t have the whole book anymore.

As a substitute teacher and a grandmother, this is a great book to have on hand!
You can whip out a fun activity with minimal supplies. The instructions and visuals are easy to follow.
I highly recommend!

This book is brilliantly sequenced by difficulty to build confidence and increase skill levels in all budding artists.
I teach elementary art and have never seen my students so excited about cutting (and building those little hand muscles)!
I offered these realistic templates for my early finishers. Though I gave my students a quick whole-group preview,
Robert Kelley's clear directions and images allowed them to work independently so that I can focus on the rest of my class.
My students chose their level of preferred difficulty and shape.
Most of the templates are 6-pointed, even when folding the paper into fourths or eights
(as folding papers into thirds or sixths can be difficult for my students). I enjoyed trying some of the higher-level snowflakes!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to increase their paper-cutting skills and make some beautiful winter decorations.
What can you make with a snowflake template?

This book was such a useful tool to me, as an Art teacher.
I loved how this book gave me options for all of my students, K-8th grade.
I was also able to do snowflakes with ease at home with the family!!
Jamie McWilliams
I am an art teacher and used these templates in my classroom for folding and cutting practice.
The instructions are easy to follow and it really made making these beautiful paper snowflakes so easy.
Usually when kids try to make their own you end up with a square with some holes cut out. Not the case here.
Pasquale romero
I am an art teacher in a special needs school.
I work with kids grade K-12 and many have motor skills issues.
These templates made it so easy for them to make beautiful snowflakes!!
We set them up to look like a snow storm in my classroom.
Excellent book, excellent resource for any crafter of any age.
I love that there are levels set up for beginner and they become harder as you go up each level.

Simply photocopy a page, fold, cut out the gray areas, and unfold. There is nothing to draw, and no prep work.
It’s PRACTICALLY FOOLPROOF for kids of ALL AGES and SKILL LEVELS. The book recommends starting at the beginning (OBVIOUSLY),
but many of my students just jumped in where they could intuitively tell what the FOLDING DIAGRAM ON EACH PAGE was showing,
and they did this without any guidance :-) The book is full of gems like; It is very important that your scissors
fit your hands and are not dull; Go over all folds with a fingernail; and- if you are having concerns back down a level.
The author even says at the beginning of each level- Practice on these two first, they are easier, and-
When you can do all of one level, try the next. This allows kids to progressively build their folding and cutting skills
while being challenged in a way that builds confidence. The kids were so proud and pleased with themselves to be
able to make such beautiful realistic snowflakes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This book is well-organized and easy to use without any prep.
I really like how the snowflakes are set up progressively by age level so children can be successful with the process at any age.
I teach art to 1-6 grades, and it was perfect to give the different age levels something they could all do that was challenging
enough but manageable to complete independently at their respective levels, and they all enjoyed making them.
My 10-year-old daughter tried them and the first thing she said was - “these are a 10 out of 10!”
She proceeded to make more, and was so excited that she could do it by herself without any help.
I definitely recommend this book for parents, teachers, or anyone who loves making decorative snowflakes!

This book is amazing for all ages. 20 years in the classroom teaching how to do snowflakes and this is the best thing ever.

All of Kelley’s snowflake books are amazing! I have multiple and can not say enough great things.
These books help with paper cutting skills and children end up with work they are proud with.
All of his books have different levels so that you can help children that have difficulty cutting,
challenge those who need more of a challenge, and you can cut snowflakes along with them!
As a teacher I have used this in my classroom successfully and shared these books with others!
Jillian S
As a teacher using this with my students, the directions and image of each step is really done well.
It progressively gets more challenging, but once you teach the steps, it’s very easy to replicate.
The gray portions also help to know what to cut out. I would definitely use again and again. Thanks!
