Customer Reviews

making snowflakes made so easy
The books were deliverd promptly, andI was kept up to date, of each stage of delivery. The books (2) are beautiful, in lovely condition. Instructions on how to make the snowflakes are easy to read with great illustrations. Who knew one could make snowflakes for every occation. So glad I ordered one for myself, as well as a gift to my daughter. this was first time ordering from this company, and am totally satisfied.

Wonderful (and reasonably priced!)
For a number of years now, we've had a tradition in our home. As nights lengthen and Christmas approaches, we start folding pieces of printer paper and cutting out snowflakes, which we then tape to windows, the refrigerator, etc. When my wife brought home his book, I figured that it had little to say to me. Well, I was wrong!

The book starts out with a quick one-page hint page, which actually had some really good suggestions. The book then launches into snowflakes for all seasons (from New Years through Independence Day and on to Christmas). Though you wouldn't want many on these off-snowflake-season designs, when done with colored paper, they do make lovely decorations, ones that the kids will love making. Interestingly, the back cover has a thumbnail picture of all of the snowflakes (complete with page numbers), all made with different colored paper--seeing that alone will change your view of snowflakes!

So, please let my family recommend that you buy this wonderful (and reasonably priced) little resource for your family fun. It's a great book!

Snow Crystal Shapes
As a biophysical geographer and GLOBE trainer I work with snow. I am always looking for ways for student scientists to do hands-on, minds-on science. Higham provides 64 paper snowflakes. As one very bright 10-year told me, "Snow is dead clouds."

Snow crystals are the most unstable substance on earth - always changing while forming, falling and on the ground until the spring melt. These are imaginative, fun, snap shots of snow crystals.

Some of Higham's designs are a stretch (Halloween, 4th of July), but anything that helps gain a greater understanding of snow, and gets away from the stereotypical six-point star snow "flake" and more toward the vast diversity of snow crystals is a plus. I use Higham's book with my student scientists at the K-12 and university level.

When students work through Higham's designs they are then ready for more complex, multidimensional true snow crystals.
