Last winter, I wrote a post about catching snowflakes and when the latest snowstorm came through this morning, I couldn't resist catching them again. The results were beautiful.
Want to catch snowflakes? Pick a dark fabric, we use navy blue cotton, and a piece of cardboard to set the cloth on so it will stay flat. Five minutes before you go out, set the cloth outside so it can reach the outdoor temperature, otherwise the flakes will melt when they hit the cloth.
Once you are ready to go out let you little ones hold the cloth on the cardboard letting snow fall on the cloth. After 30 seconds, go under shelter and look up close. Among the clumps of flakes, you should see some individual snow crystals

Have fun!
absolutely gorgeous photos! I can't believe how beautiful and detailed they are to the naked eye! I'll have to try this with the boys when it snows again. :)
