How To Make A Baby Jar Snow Globe

Re-purpose a baby food jar into a homemade snow globe. We did this as a birthday party activity (a babysitting themed birthday party for 11 year old girls) but it works as a great family activity for winter school break too.

You will need:

• a glass baby jar with lid
• super glue
• bathroom caulking (or water proof super glue)
• a glue-able figurine (plastic, crystal or metal will do. Anything paper will dissolve in water)
• Glitter
• Water (enough to fill jar ¾ full)

Directions:

1. Glue the figurine to the lid of the baby food jar. Set aside for it to dry.
2. Fill baby food jar ¾ full with water. Add glitter. Spread caulking around outside tip of jar (work quickly).
3. Then seal lid on jar.
4. DO NOT TURN OVER YET.
5. Set aside, right side up (so metal lid is on the top) and allow caulking to dry.

Tip: put a dab of caulking on a paper plate – when that is dry you can turn your baby food snow globe over.
