D.I.Y. Snowflake Wands

How to build simple snowflake wands using only dollar store items. A while back we needed some snowflake wands for a kids party. Turned out finding these were easier said than done. So I made them myself from things I was able to get at our local Dollarama. It was a fun and easy craft. It took me less than 15 minutes to make enough for the whole party. The kids loved them and they were super inexpensive. I would say thats a win win.

This is a simple enough craft that kids could do, but I would suggest using craft glue instead of hot glue, and keeping the snowflakes facedown over night while the glue dried.

Note:

These wands would not be suitable for kids under 3 years of age, as they are not the sort of thing that should go in the mouth or be chewed.

We also made snowflake cookies to go along with our snowflake wands!

And if you need party favours, these build your own snowmen were a real hit! 

And an even simpler idea might be these mini donut snowmen.
