Craft Your Own Snowflake Inspired by Music! Activity for Kids

Hi, kids! Put on your dancing shoes: today, we are going to talk about music that was written for a ballet, where dancers move their bodies to show a story.

THE CHALLENGE: Create a ballet dancer snowflake, hook it to a string, and try to make it dance along with the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. Post it on social media with the hashtag #HoustonSymphonyDraws for the world to see!

Materials needed:

  • Two pieces of paper
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Other items for decorating (macaroni, sequins, glitter, etc.)

Make you own ballet dancer snowflake!

Listen to the video of The Sugar Plum Fairy movement for inspiration.
