DIY Snow Globe Sensory Jar There ’ s something so soothing about shaking up a snow globe and watching the snow swirl and settle . It ’ s very calming for little kids , too ! Create your own snow globe with your child this season with these instructions .
MATERIALS :
• A small mason jar
• A hot glue gun
• Glitter or confetti
• Elmer ’ s clear glue
• An optional winter figurine , such as a small snowman .
DIRECTIoNS :
1 . First , you ’ ll need to hot glue your mason jar ’ s lid components together . This will prevent leak . Next , hot glue the figurine to the inside of the lid so that it will be facing upside down when you place the lid on the jar . After that , fill the jar approximately 30 % full with the clear glue and then add glitter or confetti and fill the rest of the way with hot water , leaving a bit of room at the top , and stir .
2 . Quickly pipe a thick ring of hot glue around the inside of the lid and screw the lid on as tight as you can .
3 . Let dry , and shake !
4 . If you ’ re not crazy about giving your little one glass , you can purchase empty plastic snow globes at craft stores !
