This gives a template, and the results are loads of fun.<\/p>\n<h2>Snowflake Painting with Cookie Cutters<\/h2>\n<p>We have done several cookie cutter painting activities over the years. This was one my girls asked to do. <\/p>\n<p>It is one of our favorite types of paintings. And kids have a blast using the cookie cutters and different colors to make a snowflake painting.<\/p>\n<h2>Book to Read With the Snowflake Painting<\/h2>\n<p>They also picked out a book that we read. It is one of our wintertime favorites: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/No-Two-Alike-Keith-Baker\/dp\/1442417420?&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=571af32fcdcf4a5a05f2796a9813de9f&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"blank\">No Two Alike<\/a>. The book is about how no two things are alike. It shows you many different examples of this in winter. You see, snowflakes, but not two are alike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/No-Two-Alike-Keith-Baker\/dp\/1442417420?&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=571af32fcdcf4a5a05f2796a9813de9f&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\nNo Two Alike\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-73822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book-640x641.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/no-two-alike-book.jpg 999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What you need for this Snowflake Watercolor Painting:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B013S1A4Q2\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B013S1A4Q2&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=b02bf5008fda9e605ad56b57dea94fb6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watercolors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004M59O4C\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B004M59O4C&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=59c556743aa984516924732f5b63be2c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watercolor paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/International-1894-Snowflake-Cutters-Assorted\/dp\/B001K5EKFU?th=1&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=fdc358243167e1bcdae6023634911da4&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snowflake cookie cutters<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/1-2018\/watercolorsnowflakes1.jpg\" alt=\"Fun to Make Watercolor Snowflakes - make fun snowflake themed painting using cookies cutters - 3Dinosaurs.com #watercolorforkids #cookiecuttes #paintingforkids #finemotorskills #winteractivitiesforkids\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Painting Using Cookie Cutters<\/h2>\n<p>There are several sizes of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/International-1894-Snowflake-Cutters-Assorted\/dp\/B001K5EKFU?th=1&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=fdc358243167e1bcdae6023634911da4&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snowflake cookie cutters<\/a> to pick from. We each picked out own. We decided to stick to the blues and purple watercolors.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Place the Snowflake Cookie Cutter on the Watercolor Paper<\/h3>\n<p>You place the snowflake cookie cutter on the paper and use one hand to hold it. The second hand you get paint on the brush and paint inside the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n<p>You want to make sure to paint inside the whole cookie cutter. But it does not always happen.<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/1-2018\/watercolorsnowflakes2.jpg\" alt=\"Fun to Make Watercolor Snowflakes - make fun snowflake themed painting using cookies cutters - 3Dinosaurs.com #watercolorforkids #cookiecuttes #paintingforkids #finemotorskills #winteractivitiesforkids\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Look the the Snowflakes on the Paper<\/h3>\n<p>After you have finished the cookie cutter part you can always add more decorations or colors!

Because we are using watercolors the snowflakes can dry pretty fast. This allows you to put big on small and overlap corners of snowflakes.<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/1-2018\/watercolorsnowflakes4.jpg\" alt=\"Fun to Make Watercolor Snowflakes - make fun snowflake themed painting using cookies cutters - 3Dinosaurs.com #watercolorforkids #cookiecuttes #paintingforkids #finemotorskills #winteractivitiesforkids\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Final look at our Snowflake Watercolor Painting<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a look at our final pictures.
