Snow Globes
Make a snowstorm in a jar
Materials
- baby food jars and lids (empty and clean)
- felt
- metallic glitter or confetti
- plastic "snow" (available at craft stores)
- small items (shells, rocks, pine cones, toys)
- water
- waterproof glue (hot glue or florist clay)
Directions
Ask your children what they like to do in the snow. (If it doesn't snow where you live, ask them to imagine what they would do if it did.) Making "snowstorms in a jar" with your children is a fun activity no matter where you live. (As always, be sure to supervise the use of glass.)
- Glue: Help each child glue a small item on the inside lid of a baby food jar.
- Fill: Add some plastic snow and glitter to the jar, and then fill it with water.
- Seal: Put glue around the dry inside edge of the lid and screw it on tight. Finally, glue a felt circle on the lid, and turn the jar upside down.
- Shake: When children shake the jars, their snowstorms will come to life and they can remember the fun they had (or imagined!) in the snow.
