Easy DIY Snow Globes for kids
We made these snow globes last year! They are so easy and fun to make. We used plastic empty snow globes from hobby lobby, but we have also made them using jars! Just make sure the jar has a tight-fitting lid. Hot glue your pieces to the lid, add your water, glitter, and glycerin and you’re good to go!
You’ll need:
⭐️A jar with a tight-fitting lid -or- empty snow
globe
⭐️Plastic or resin Characters / Presents / Trees,
etc
⭐️Hot glue and hot glue gun
⭐️Glitter
⭐️Glycerin (about 3 tsp/ cup of water)
⭐️Distilled water
Making snow globes is a fantastic and engaging craft project for children. Not only do they encourage creativity, but they also offer a wonderful opportunity for parents and kids to bond. The process of selecting characters and decorating the globe can become an enjoyable narrative. Use a variety of materials like small toys, natural elements such as pinecones, or themed decorations to personalize each globe. You can experiment with different types of glitter to create various effects, like fine or chunky glitter, which can add uniqueness to each creation. Additionally, incorporating different colors of glycerin will help determine the speed at which the snow falls, leading to a fascinating learning experience about density and motion! Snow globes also make wonderful gifts or holiday decorations that children can proudly display. Whether it's a snowy scene for winter holidays or a beach theme for summer, the possibilities are endless. Have fun creating timeless memories while crafting these easy DIY snow globes with your little ones!
