Snowflake Symmetry Activity

Snowflake Symmetry is a fun art activity to teach the concept of symmetry. Symmetry occurs when an object has two completely identical sides facing each other or around an axis.  When designing your snowflakes, it is helpful to use a line of symmetry—a line that divides the two identical parts, each being a mirror reflection of the other.
