Families drop in, sit down at the studio tables and fold, snip and unfold paper until a pattern appears, then take the snowflakes home to tape on windows or hang on a tree. No booking is needed for this drop-in session; the studio's weekly projects are meant for all ages, and the staff supply the paper and tools. The Friday session runs in the evening, when the museum is open late, and the Saturday and Sunday sessions run through the afternoon, so it is easy to fit a craft stop into a gallery visit. It pairs well with the museum's other December family offerings, and the craft itself takes as little or as long as a child likes. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Sensory-Friendly Saturday: Paper Snowflakes — Detroit Institute of Arts](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/sensory-friendly-saturday-paper-snowflakes-detroit-institute-of-arts--listing-bbe12b46fa05a3f9327b702a) — Sat, Dec 5 · 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Detroit Institute of Arts · All ages · With admission · sensory-friendly · checked Oct 27.
