No one seems to know for sure when the first snow globe was created, but they did appear well over a century ago at the Paris Universal Expo of 1878 and continue to be popular today. Your child will love making and then shaking his or her very own snow globe!
What You Need:
- Wide-mouth glass jar with lid
- Glitter
- Small figurine
- Hot glue gun
- Water
What You Do:
- Choose a small figurine that will fit easily inside the jar (we used "Little People" figures).
- Glue to the inside of the lid.
- Fill jar with water and sprinkle in glitter.
- Screw on lid tightly. You can apply some hot glue to the rim before closing to ensure a water-tight seal.
- Turn upside down and shake up your glittery scene!
