Winter Fun!

Catching snowflakes on your tongue is fun! 

 

  • Did you know that no two snowflakes are exactly alike?
  • Did you know that snowflakes begin their formation process by a small speck of dust or dirt that is carried up into the atmosphere by the wind?  Ice then collects around the little speck and a snow crystal begins to form.  These crystal begin to combine and make the snowflakes we all love to catch on our tongues and face!
