Make Pipe Cleaner Snowflake and use it to stamp Snowflakes

I reuse clear plastic containers that have berries, tomatoes, spinach, grapes, lettuce, okra to store and Organize my daughter's toys. They come in various sizes starting from small to big and perfect for storage.

We love the book and the story. For the Book + Activity, We made the toilet paper roll trees with different tree tops for the different seasons.
