A square folded eight times over, a dozen small cuts, and the unfolding is the best part: the pattern comes out different every time. One damp fingertip is enough to keep them on the glass.

What you need

  • White paper
  • Safe scissors
  • A damp cloth

How to play

  1. Cut a square out of a sheet of paper.
  2. Fold the square corner to corner into a triangle, then in half twice more.
  3. Cut notches, half circles and triangles into all three folded edges.
  4. Unfold the snowflake carefully and press it flat under a book.
  5. Wipe the glass with the damp cloth and press the snowflake on — it holds without glue.
  6. Fill the whole window with snowflakes of different sizes.
