Project Seasons: Make a Snowflake Activity
Most of us have learned that snowflakes are six-sided, but cut paper snowflakes usually only have four sides. In the spirit of winter, we’re sharing some simple instructions from our publication Project Seasons for how to make six-sided paper snowflakes.
Spiced Squash Soup
Enjoy this hearty soup from the Inn Kitchen — perfect for warming up on a chilly day! This recipe calls for butternut or kabocha squash, but feel free to use what local varieties you can find at the market.
