Snowflakes

Have you ever looked carefully at a snowflake? Some snowflakes are like wheels and some are like stars but every snowflake has six points.

For children, snow is fun. They can build snowmen with snow. They can throw snowballs and play with their sledges in the snow. They can ski in the snow, too.

Winter is not a good time for some animals and birds because the weather is too cold and they cannot find food. Some animals, like snakes and tortoises, go to sleep in the winter and wake up when the weather is warm again.
