Salt Crystal Snowflakes

Looking for activities to do with the kids? Why not do a

STEM activity?? What does STEM stand for?

Science

Technology

Engineering

Math

This is an inexpensive activity and it's fun,

I can remember

making these. What you'll need is....

Salt

Mason jars (one for each snowflake)

Pipe cleaners

Clothes pins

Start creating:

You will need to heat about 3 cups of water per mason jar.

Once the water starts to boil, start adding the salt. Keep pouring

salt in until crystals start to form on the surface of the water. It will

take almost the entire container of salt for three snowflakes.

While the water is cooling, let the kids design their own snowflakes

from the pipe cleaners. If your kids are younger you may

have to help them. Make sure the snowflakes can fit easily

through the mouth of each jar.

When the snowflakes are made, attach a chenille stem hanger

to the top of each snowflake so you can suspend it in the mason jar.

Suspend your snowflakes in the saltwater using a

clothespin to hold them into place. Let the snowflakes sit in a

sunny window for 2-3 days. Once they are complete you can hang them from a window,

your Christmas tree, just about anywhere.
