Why you’ll love these Pattern Block Snowflakes

You cannot look at cute snowflakes and not smile, right? And as a BONUS: students are practicing making patterns and building new shapes with pattern blocks!

I’ve recently added a Google Drive version of these pattern block snowflakes so your kiddos can create these darling winter items on their computer, too! How cute are these digital snowflakes?

Growing up, I was definitely more of a reader than a math kid. I always had a book nearby to pull out & read when I had a few minutes. It would have never dawned on me to work on math problems, pull out a puzzle or even build something with pattern blocks! It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized that math was more than just word problems and equations!

“The children loved applying what they learned about 2-D shapes to create their very own geometric snowflake.”
“My kids thought this was the best activity. It was so much fun watching them get creative.”
“My kids had so much fun creating their own snowflake while also understanding the different 2d shapes.”
