First Step snowflake patterns are the easiest, most basic designs intended for absolute beginners, preschool age children, developmentally challenged, and people with special needs. First Step patterns are extremely simple, elementary level patterns which use very basic cutout shapes to help introduce math concepts to very young children, the developmentally challenged, and people with special needs.
Most First Step patterns have just two or three basic cut shape (circle, square, triangle) which most beginners should be able to master fairly quickly. These simple cutout shapes are repeated over 2, 3, 4, and 6 sided patterns to demonstrate how varied results can be obtained for different folds using similar cuts.
Snowflake Templates and Easy Frosty Miniflakes are also fairly easy paper snowflake patterns, however, First Step patterns are by far the easiest for those using scissors for the very first time.
The next level in the easy pattern category are the Basic Shapes patterns, which are beginning to intermediate level patterns perfect for young children.
