This idea came to me as I was eating one of the delicious Dove chocolate truffles that Prince Charming put in my stocking. Normally, I’m not much of a chocolate eater…but these truffles are delicious. And the wrappers are beautiful, which is why I felt guilty throwing them away. :) Big Brother was happy to help create some beautiful snowflakes!
Here’s what you’ll need: square candy wrappers (or foil) and scissors.
 |
| 1. Lay the wrapper down flat. |
 |
| 2. Fold it (I think I folded ours 3-4 times…I can’t remember). |
 |
| 3. Let your little one carefully (and with much guidance) cut pieces out of the wrapper while it is folded. I didn’t get a picture of Big Brother cutting because my hands were full trying to help him. |
|
| 4. Unfold and enjoy! |
 |
| Happy boy! |
 |
| And Big Brother insisted that I should eat another truffle so we could make another snowflake. I decided I could sacrifice for him… :) The other side of the wrappers are blue with beautiful snowflakes. |
Hehe… we did this too in a week before Christmas but we used chocolate wrappers I've been collecting some time: http://willowatsquidoo.blogspot.com/2010/12/week-before-christmas-in-review.html Fun! :)
Great recycling! I shared your project on my facebook page.
