How to make a snow globe
What you’ll need…
Clean empty jar
Super glue (and an adult!)
Plastic or ceramic toys or cake decorations*
Water
Glitter (biodegradable is best!)
Glycerin (available from chemists)
*Use old toys/decorations instead of buying new ones. And make sure they fit inside the jar before you start!
Step 1
Unscrew the lid of your jar and ask an adult to carefully glue the toy to its inside, following the instructions on the glue packet.
Step 2
While it’s drying, fill the jar almost to the top with water.
Step 3
Add a dash of glycerin to the water and a pinch or two of glitter. The glycerin makes the water gloopy so the glitter falls slower – like snow. Give it a stir.
Step 4
Tightly screw the lid back on the jar. Check the water level – you may need to add more.
Step 5
Flip the jar over and give it a shake!
TOP TIP!
Make a few snow globes and give them as gifts to your friends!
