Kids Christmas Craft – Snow Globes

Snow globes are everyones favorite to make and receive. These are great gifts for grandparents or for mom or dad. We do these every year for mantel decorations. The kids love creating them and I love seeing the progress each year of their advancement of skill and imagination.

If you want to make your own, gather glass or clear plastic containers, like baby food jars or mustard or mayonnaise jars.? Wash and dry them completely.

Gather small plastic Christmas or winter decorations. Try to find some that float. These add a little fun to the snow globe.

Winter themed stickers or small foam cutouts are also nice. Decorate the outside of the jar with stickers or glue a few of the foam pieces on it.

Attach a couple of the floating pieces (things like snowflakes or stars work well) to string and glue a figure to the inside with the string underneath the figure to anchor it (which will become the base).

Fill the jar with water and some glitter. I also? like to add the shiny confetti personally it adds a little sparkle with the glitter.

Carefully glue the lid in place using waterproof glue and let dry.? Once dry, shake it, set it lid down and watch the glitter swirl around.
