Snowflake pattern instructions were easy to follow, but designs were medium to difficult to cut. Our group of 7 to 9 year old girls had problems cutting even the simplest of the patterns in this book. In the past I've seen some very pretty snowflake designs. These are not the prettiest snowflake patterns; they are somewhat uninspired.

I have always made paper snowflakes since I was a child. So...when I saw this book available I snatched it up to give me more ideas. Some of the designs are difficult, so I would not generally recommend this book for children. I used the cut-out designs exactly as portrayed, but also to use freely as a starting point in my own way.

These designs are lovely and can be used year round as well as at christmas. They are easy to do just requiring a pair of small sharp scissors. Wouldn't recommend for small children who shouldn't handle sharp scissors or can't make fine motor movements to get the edges etc. Will be able to use these for years to come.

If you're looking for traditional snowflake patterns, look elsewhere. i bought this snowflake book along with 2 others. of the 3, i didn't even use this one because i was so dissatisfied with the patterns. they don't even really look like snowflakes, and they're just not very pretty in my opinion. If you want a more traditional looking snowflake, i bought the following book and really liked it: Make Your Own Paper Snowflakes
