SNOWFLAKE BALLERINAS for Little Hands
We decided to follow up on the previous article with similar ballerinas that would be easy enough for children. They are just as beautiful as the others but much simpler to do. The basic shape is symmetrical, so you can fold the paper in two and only do half the cutting.
Our house is already full of snowflake ballerinas… and I certainly didn’t cut any of them 
Print out the template. Fold in half on the dotted line and let the child do the cutting.
The skirt is easier, too – you only fold 3 times (instead of 4) so there would not be too many layers that would make cutting difficult. You can use any variety of shapes.
After the skirt has been cut out, fold it in two and make a slip to insert the ballerina. Unfold only when the figure is already in place. You can string several ballerinas together to make a beautiful Christmas garland.
Great idea! Plan on making those today with my daughter! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you in advance. I saw these ballerinas and fell in love. Thought my granddaughter and I could cut some out to dance in her bedroom.
I am printing these now!!! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
Today’s plans to go to the Festival of Trees won’t happen due to heavy rain and wind, so this project is the perfect replacement activity for my granddaughter and me. Thanks so much!
I just made one of these for my 3 year old daughter and she loved it! Thanks so much!
These snowflake ballerinas are so adorable. I can’t wait to make them with my 6 year old niece this coming weekend. Do you by any chance have or know where I can get the instructions for the other Snowflake Ballerinas in English? Thank you.

thanks so much for sharing such a great, doable and pretty idea,

So pretty & creative! Thank you!
I used a coffee filter for the skirt and it worked great. Very cute and the filter makes the skirt look more like a tutu

I can’t wait to make these with my beautiful granddaughter Jessie.
This is perfect! My 9 year old daughter is having a Swan Lake Ballet Party this Saturday and I’ve looked everywhere for a unique craft that would appeal to creativity but not be too difficult. I already know they love to make snowflakes! This will be a hit! Thanks from Alaska!
