Snowflake Cutting
Cutting out snowflakes is a winter tradition. Some clients will be able to cut them out with just a demonstration of how to fold and cut the shapes, but for younger clients, you can draw the shapes onto the paper and have them cut out the shapes.
These work best when the paper is folded several times into a triangle. Cut shapes and pieces out of the sides, but don’t cut off all of the sides. Folding the paper uses visual motor skills.
