About this coloring page
One large snow crystal fills the page, built the way real ones are: six arms, always six, each branching in the same pattern because the whole crystal grows through the same air. It is a quietly mathematical page and a good excuse to look at how water molecules stack. The symmetry means you can plan a colour scheme once and repeat it six times, which children find surprisingly satisfying. Pale blues and silvery greys read as ice; a dark background makes it glow.
Printing tips
Set your printer to “fit to page” and turn off headers and footers. Ordinary 80 gsm paper is fine for pencils; use 120 gsm or heavier if you colour with markers so the ink does not bleed through.
