Tri-Sided Triangular Shaped Child Craft Snowflake Stencil

3 Sided Snowflake Stencil Patterns

Triangular shaped snow crystals, like the 12 sided variety, are currently a mystery to science. The triple edged flakes appear with the same weather conditions that produce 6 sided, hexagonal shaped snowflakes. Because of the beautiful and symmetrical shapes of naturally occurring snowflakes, this is a great way to introduce symmetrical math patterns and concepts to young children.

They appear in nature along with the conditions which produce the 6 sided snowflakes. Here is a close-up photograph of several three sided snowflakes. And, here's one more three-sided snowflake that is featured right here on this page! Can you find it? (hint look for #730)

Use these completed drawings of snowflake 3sideds for creating unique wooden snowflake ornaments, foam snowflakes, crochet snowflakes, embroidered snowflakes, latch hook rugs and other snowflake needlework projects.
