All the kids made their very own unique snow globe. We went for a little shopping trip to pick out some Christmas ornaments that were on sale. Last time we looked around the house for some cute toys and came up with quite a few. Toddler plastic toys work great. Unfortunately there aren't any toddlers around anymore. They grow up so quick.
Anywho, here are some things to consider when thinking about what kind of snowglobe scene you would like to create. First make sure to use plastic and something that isn't affected by water (no paper). Second bring your jar with you when you go shopping to make sure your toy fits inside the jar. We ended up choosing some really cute snowmen.
I also made some snow globe clip art. Can you tell I have been thinking a lot about snow globes lately? I guess I am missing the snow a little:)

Here is what you will need:
jars (1 per child)
glitter
toy or plastic miniature to make scene (MUST fit in lid)
hot glue gun
water
artificial snow (optional)
Did you see the Snow Globe Art Tutorial a few weeks ago? That was really fun too. Just click on the picture below to see more of this art project.

What a cute idea! This could really be used for other holidays too. Valentines is coming up...floating hearts might be something we try. Thank you for the info! Thank you for linking up at A Nurse's Wildflowers Homeschool Weekly Moments and Musings! I look forward to seeing more of you in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have never made snow globes before but I'm sure my boys would love to make them. Naturally they'd want to find miniature tractors or something to put inside of them! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Dinah! - Stopping by from the link-up at A Little R & R. This snowglobe craft is so cute! My daughter absolutely love snow globes. I can't wait to try this with her.

ReplyDeleteMy daughters (7, 6, & 3) would really enjoy this - and you made it look easy enough that I'd be up for trying it - great tutorial. I'll pin it for later - thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHow adorable are those? I never would have thought to DIY snow globes! Saving this idea for our next snow day!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I loved seeing these 2 projects. Thank you. I wonder if you laminated a picture if you could that inside as well. My 2 yr old loves "wishy" as she calls the snow globe one of my students gave me for Christmas.

Wow, that art project turned out really really well. Thank you for the lovely snow globe tutorial. I really appreciate that you refined it and made it fool-proof for people like me who are "the anti craft". Thanks for this. I am pinning and sharing this project!
