How to make homemade Snow Globes!

A homemade snow globe is a childhood must! You can use some plastic figurines lying about the house, or even some old LEGO pieces.

 

 

Materials:

• small glass jar
• a plastic figurine
• glycerin (optional: while it’s not necessary, it makes the glitter float better)
• glitter
• water
• glue (we used a hot glue gun, but superglue should work too)

 

Instructions:

1. Decide what you would like to put in your snow globe. We used a some Christmas decorations
2. Glue, place, and stick your plastic figurine to the inside of the jar lid
3. Fill your jar with water and/or glycerin and add glitter—1-2 teaspoons.
4. Screw the lid on the jar — glue it if you’re concerned about your child trying to open it
5. Shake your jar or tip it upside down to make it snow!
