What kid doesn’t love to shake a snow globe?? I remember my grandma having some at her house when I was younger and I was enamored by them! We even got snow globe ornaments one year. Mine is hanging on our tree right now, though the liquid has long been gone.
Today, I let Sawyer make her own snow globe! It’s SUPER easy…
You’ll need:
- a Christmasey trinket
- silicon
- mason jar with lid
- water
- glitter
We opted for a nutcracker and a pine tree…both of which were $0.75 at Joann’s during Thanksgiving.
1.) Adhere your trinkets to the lid of the mason jar. We used silicone and let them dry about 24 hours. I’m sure any type of tough glue would work, but this is what I had on hand.
2.) Fill your jars with water and add glitter. We filled our up to the neck of the jar and added WAY too much glitter. I’m thinking a good tablespoon would’ve been more than fine, but hey – the more the merrier, right?!
3.) Add your trinket and tighten the lid.
4.) Give it a good shake!
Sawyer had a ton of fun doing this! She did want to take them to the toy room to which I did say no…but she’s welcome to come shake them in the kitchen anytime she’d like!
Happy shaking!
We made these when I used to lead the little Blue-Belles. We used silicone to seal it, too. 🙂
