Rainbow Snowflakes

The picture doesn't do it justice, but here's a peek at one of my favorite winter bulletin boards.

I found the poem years ago and have no idea who the author is. (If someone knows I would love to know!) The snowflakes began as simple coffee filters that students folded and cut into snowflakes.  Using cotton swabs students applied water that had been colored with food coloring.  I place a paper towel underneath to protect the table.  They dry within an hour and voila - instant display!!
