Snowflakes on Tie Dye 2nd grade

I found this project years ago on a website that no longer exists called Geocities (theartkids).

Start with 12" x 18" white drawing paper. Use chalk pastels and a paper towel to create the tie dye.
Students started in the middle with one color and rubbed with towel on finger outward about 2 inches from middle.
Next color is lightly applied around outside of first color, and rubbed outward again with towel.
We do discuss colors that make muddy colors when blended (complimentary)so that they can avoid using those colors next to each other.
Next art time we learned how to fold snowflakes and cut them, then glued them onto the chalk background. A little glue and white glitter for sparkle makes this beautiful snowy picture.
