About these snowflake coloring pages

Winter's tiniest crystals become big, bold shapes in these snowflake coloring pages. Ages 3 to 5 can color one large six-armed snowflake or a flake resting on a mitten. Ages 6 to 8 get a child catching snowflakes on their tongue and a table of paper snowflakes, and kids 9 and up get a snowy village and a close-up of crystals under a magnifying glass.

Teens and adults can lose themselves in the intricate snowflake mandala or the grid of nine crystal shapes. For a winter science tie-in, compare the colored pages with real flakes caught on dark paper or fabric and study them through a magnifying glass.

Snowflake facts to share

  1. Snowflakes almost always have six sides or six arms because of the way water molecules link together when they freeze.
  2. Wilson Bentley of Vermont took the first known photograph of a single snowflake in 1885.
  3. A snow crystal's shape depends on the temperature and humidity of the air it falls through.

Color idea: Stay in a cool palette of icy blues, lavender, silver and white, and color each ring of the mandala a slightly deeper shade than the one inside it.

Snowflake coloring page questions

Why do the snowflakes have six arms?

Real snowflakes form when water vapor freezes into ice crystals, and the way water molecules bond gives each crystal a six-sided shape. Have kids count the arms on the big snowflake and the mandala, then compare them with real flakes outside.

Which snowflake page suits young children?

The big six-armed snowflake is the simplest, with thick arms and large spaces. The snowflake on a mitten is a good second choice because the mitten gives children a familiar shape to color around the flake.

How can kids make a snowflake look icy?

Use a range of light blues, lavender and silver, leaving small white gaps between strokes. A white gel pen or a little glitter glue along the tips adds sparkle once the colors are dry.
