Triangular shaped snow crystals can 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.
Use these completed drawings of snowflake stencils for creating unique wooden snowflake ornaments, foam snowflakes, crochet snowflakes, embroidered snowflakes, latch hook rugs and other snowflake needlework projects.
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 finished flakes as patterns for wooden ornaments, embroidery and other needlework, or make tons of stencils.
