Homemade Snow Globes
A homemade snow globe is a childhood must! The best part about these snow globes is that they give you the perfect opportunity to get rid of some of those pesky plastic figurines lying around the house. Another idea is to use LEGOs -- if your child can part with them!
Materials
Directions
Ask your child if he can find the perfect plastic figurine or Lego piece to use in his snow globe. No sense in buying a new one, if there’s already something at home!
Put glue on the inside of the jar’s lid. Place and stick your child’s plastic figurine on it.
Fill the jar with cold water.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of glitter and stir.
Add a few drops of glycerin.
Screw the lid on the jar. You can glue it if you're concerned about your child trying to open it.
That's it! Have your child shake the jar or tip it upside down to make it "snow."
