Snow Globes

Grade Levels: Pre-K - 5


Those little glass balls with the snowstorms inside have always been a winter favorite. They can be easily made, and they make great gifts for parents or grandparents.

Objectives

  • Students will create a winter snow scene inside a snow globe.

Materials

  • Baby food jar with a lid
  • Pinch of craft glitter
  • Small plastic ornament or cake decoration (a snowperson, a sleigh, or some other wintry thing)
  • Some silicon glue
  • Water

Procedures

  1. Carefully glue the ornament to the lid of the baby food jar.

  2. Allow it to dry.

  3. Fill the jar with water and add the pinch of glitter.

  4. Run a bit of the silicon glue around the inside of the lid so that when it is screwed on, it will form a waterproof seal.

  5. Store the snow globe with the lid up overnight.

  6. The next day, turn the snow globe over and shake it.
