Let your child color the paper filters anyway they would like to, I like to give them blue and purple markers to keep them around the same color tones.

Fill the cup with a quarter inch of water.

Fold your paper filter in half then in half again and once more in half. This way you end up with a triangle.

Dip the bottom tip of the triangle into the water and watch the water make its way up to the top of the coffee filter and blend the colors together.Remove the coffee filter from the water and place it on to some paper towels to dry. Repeat this with all of your coffee filters.

Once the coffee filters are dry make small cuts along the edges of the coffee filters in different shapes to create a snowflake.

Unfold the coffee filter and enjoy your snowflakes.
