Monday Fun Day ~ A Snow Globe



Today our Monday Fun Day Activity was making a snow globe.  This craft was fun, easy and took very little time to complete.  So how did we do it?

Materials
Baby Food Jar
Clay
Glitter
Water
Hot Glue
Figurine

Mold clay on the inside of the jar cover so that you have something to stick your figurine to.  We used a small snow man christmas ornament and a small stick resembling a winter, leafless tree.   After arranging your figures on the clay, tip the cover upside down to ensure that they stick.

Next, fill your jar with water and dump a small amount of glitter inside (this gives the snow effect).  Place hot glue around the edge of the jar cover and place it on top of the jar.  Glue around the outside of the jar to ensure you have a tight seal.  The first time around this did not work for me and I had to do it twice.  Luckily the second time worked just fine.  I then glued a piece of red felt around the edge of the jar cover to disguise it a bit and voila! we had a snow globe!
